Big Nate Goes Bananas! by Lincoln Peirce

I taught middle school for the better part of 31 years and I see so much in Big Nate that is true to the middle school experience. Although in reality he is kind of dorky and prone to get put in detention, in his own mind he is the hero and the focus of all good things. While he's generally well-intentioned, he has a knack for trying hard (and not to subtly) to always get his own way. The fact that this rarely works for him never seems to slow him down. I laughed out loud more than once reading this. It was a fun time and a quick read. But one I would read again just for the laughs.

I received a free electronic ARC of this book from Netgalley in return for an honest review.
