I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
OMG, you guys! Imagine my delight when after many months of no new Nate we suddenly have a new Nate on Netgalley! I just had to click that Read Now button. Thankfully, I got the whole day free so I can read tons and tons of books! \o/
Another great bundle of comics! Review to come on March 5th.

Received via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
I read a review of a Big Nate book once from a parent who stated they were horrified by these books, and would not be comfortable giving them to their child because of how rude and disrespectful Nate is. To his friends, his dad, his teachers. He's just a little snot.
And I don't disagree, exactly, but I also completely see why this series is a big hit with kids. Even the most polite child in the class has dreams of telling a teacher or authority figure exactly what they think about their rule structure. Nate gets to say exactly what they're thinking, and he tends to get away with it every time.
I love these books. They can stand the test of time and be read generations from now. Though we'll see how the joke about Nate's dad falling for a Youtube star ages.

'Big Nate: Payback Time' by Lincoln Peirce is another collection of comics about the troublemaking sixth grader.
This time Nate tries to convince everyone that he is allergic to his teacher Mrs. Godfrey. He also dresses as Gina for Halloween. He also shows a new student how a seasoned veteran handles detention.
If you like Big Nate, you will like this collection. If you are new to Big Nate, you can easily start with any collection and see what your favorite middle-schooler is talking about.

Big Nate always seems to make me laugh out loud. This book was no exception.

Once again, Lincoln Pearce gives us a great book with Big Nate as the protagonist. All of our favorites are here, Mrs. Godfrey (is Nate really allergic? Or is there something else going on?), Gina, Teddy, and Francis. There's even a newbie to detention that Nate tries to take under his wing with somewhat... dubious... results.

A comic book that made me think of Peanuts in its illustrations and style of humor. So maybe the Peanuts fans might enjoy it more then I did. It was entertaining and even funny from time to time, but just a bit too light for my personal taste!
