This review is by an 8 year old who we call Sunshine. Note: We did not edit her answers because they were amazingly funny. We did fix spelling and punctuation errors.

From the publisher: Big Nate will surpass all others! But it won’t 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?

BG: Was this book easy to read for you? Were you able to get into it quickly?
Sunshine: Big Nate is about how he is trying to get back at Gina and Randy for being mean to him. Yes, the book was really easy to read. Yes, I really got into it fast.

Was it fun to read? If so, what was fun about it?
It was fun to read. Well it was really funny in a lot of different ways so I really liked it. The boring thing about it is that he is always talking about Gina and Randy it get’s annoying.

Would you recommend it to your friends to read? What age group is this book for?
I recommend it. Well I would say six and up at the most but really ten and up is my real answer. I mean really the book is talking about middleschoolers but I think everyone should read it.

Do the characters show good moral values? Is it religious in any way? Do people pray or read the Bible?
I don’t think so. It’s mostly talking about mean middleschoolers and lot’s of things Christian’s don’t say. Okay the whole story says nothing about God, Jesus or the Bible.

Is there any language or actions that parents should worry about?
Noooooooooo never! Nope, not a single word only hitting and kicking each other.

The contest has now ended. If you are the winner you will receieve an email with information on when to expect your book.

Thank you for entering!
