Review: I am a Nate series owner now - As a general rule, I pooh-pooh "graphic" novels. To me, that's a euphemism for comics (Archie, anyone?) and really, all kids should be reading LITERATURE!!! Enter in one of my twin boys. He's a "reluctant reader" who took to Nate. He begged me to read Nate. Months of procrastination later, I picked on up and was surprised to find that I thought the books were honestly funny and, so long as the parent discusses with the child the meaning of sarcasm, irony and sardonic wit (and how that's all great in a book but NOT GOOD in real life) then the books are not only harmless, but a solidly constructive step towards reading "real" books. I know, readers of my review will be appalled at my literary snobbery. What can I say. I am a wanna-be erudite. So, for "reluctant" readers, especially boys, this would be a relatively benign choice (v. Wimpy Kid which I don't like as much). For any other child, this is a reasonable addition as a funny alternative to literature. These would be good on a family vacation when everyone relaxes with a book in the afternoon. I would say target age is from 7-10ish. My boys are 8 and 10 and loved them. Review: Big Nate - Excellent book

future good
I have not read it yet but I believe it is a great book. If you are just starting to read this series it is very funny. Nate is a kid with a very funny life. He can get dumb at times though. His friend Francis will call him a moron sometimes but when Nate gets dumb,Francis corrects him. Nate also has a friend named teddy.He is usually on Francis's team. I don't know why it is called BIG NATE because he is not big. Maybe because he is the big character or something. In the book DIBS ON THIS CHAIR NATE has a girlfriend named Angie. I don't think she is in any other book. This book is going to be great. Trust me.

Très bien fait et amusant
J'ai pris ce livre pour mes élèves en formation d'anglais. Il est amusant, bien dessiné et écrit et on retrouve tout le vocabulaire de base (et plus) nécessaire pour maitriser la langue. Il est très apprécié. Je le recommande vivement.
