Big Nate Strikes Again by Lincoln Peirce

Here's a quick blurb from the Harper Collins website: Big Nate will surpass all others!

But it wont be easy. He's stuck with Gina, his all time enemy, who just might ruin everything!

Will Nate win or lose? Pass or fail? Or end up in detention . . . again?

My Take
 
Sometimes it's fun just to take a step back in time.  I read YA most of the time, but occasionally I love me some Middle Grade.  This little MG jewel is along the vein of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  I read this book all in one sitting that took a couple, few hours.  Nate is funny.  I laughed more than once and throughly enjoyed this quick little read with the fun pictures included.  The only thing I didn't like was the fact that Nate is self-centered and pretty much remains that way.  I loved learning about Fleeceball and felt for Nate having to live with the name Kuddle Kittens for his team.  Oh and now, I see Ben Franklin in a whole new light.   I'm giving this fun little read 3 1/2 big kissies!  :)
