Big Nate Strikes Again by Lincoln Pierce 215 pages

On the top of the front cover is the reassurance that Jeff Kinney, author of the Wimpy Kid books says "BIG NATE is funny, big time". To tell the absolute truth, those legion of Wimpy Kid fans and Dave Pilkey Capt Underpants fans will be embracing this book. Well, I guess that might be a bit "girly". So, let's just say any dude that gets caught with this book in his back pack or under his bed, won't be the least bit embarrassed. Told in half text, half graphic cartoons reluctant readers will pick this up like candy. Nate gets stuck with Gina, his arch enemy on the science project. So this is not really "rocket science"; it will be laughed at by many guys.
