Nate Wright is back in another collection of pranks, fakes, missed chances and lost loves. He manages to avoid summer school by 2 points thanks to Gina, meets a girl on a fair ride, but never gets her name, and witnesses the thinning of Chad. In all a fun collection of Big Nate that hit the spot today.

Thanks Netgalley for the opportunity to read this collection!

As obnoxious as Nate is in these books, there is such a charm to reading them. He never quite gets away with what he's trying to pull, and his friends are always there to call him out.

The star of this book, though, is Sherman the gerbil. His internal monologues in the beginning and middle of this book were something I could've read all book long.

Big Nate is just sweet and fun. Such an inviting series for young readers. I send this author many thanks for all the images and good storytelling.

This was a cute book, as the Big Nate novels usually are. I let my 9 year old son review it for me on my blog. He seemed to mostly enjoy that there were other pop culture references in the book that he understood that made him laugh. He also always loves the story lines in Big Nate because they are relatable to him. I definitely recommend this and any Big Nate book to elementary aged children. My other 9 year old son and my 11 year old daughter also enjoy this series.

My son is nuts about Big Nate so when I saw one on Net Galley I had to read it. I don't know what the other books are like, but this is a collection of reprints that appeared in newspapers from 2015. They are funny, and there's a bit of a through-line, but it isn't really a story, It's cute and can see why kids like it.

My 10-year old daughter read this, she loves graphic novels, and has read all of the previous Big Nate books. She thought Hug it Out was funny. She likes how the problems in the Big Nate books are realistic, so she can relate to them. As a teacher, I think the Big Nate series is great for students in grades 3-6. I regularly recommend them to students who are reluctant readers, because they enjoy the funny stories.

Big Nate books are always a winner in our house, and this one was no different! I had my son read and review this books for me, and here is his take.
Big Nate Hug It Out is a very good book for preteens with a good sense of humor. I liked when Nate met that girl at the fair, it left me in suspense. Also all of the pranks Nate pulled on his Teachers we’re hilarious.
I can’t wait for the next one.

Never a dull moment with Nate and his crazy gang is around....00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Big Nate: Hug It Out!

This book, just like stand up comedy, ends with a pronounced "Puh dum pump," and a hit to the cymbal.

Kids love Big Nate and this will be no exception.

Big Nate is so popular. The kids think they are reading a comic book, I'm impressed with his vocabulary and everyone laughs through the whole book. I hope Lincoln Peirce never quits writing Big Nate books.

It is always nice to read every panel in Big Nate. It is hilarious as always. Not only when he is with his friends, but also when there are Gina or Mr principal on it.

I wish I can read another installment of Big Nate series.

I have always been a fan of Lincoln PIerce's Big Nate comics and read it daily on either IG or GoComics. This collection has something for everyone. Parents will sympathize with the grandparents with the son who refuses to grow up and chuckle at Grandpa's antics.
I think that some of the jokes may be more understandable to those who are more familiar with the comic such as Francis and his new book of trivia or Nate's nemesis Gina/Ms Godfrey.
As always it is light hearted that everyone can enjoy and characters that are as endearing as any of the Peanut's gang.
I highly recommend this for readers of any age.

It's become a no-brainer for me to click when there's a review copy of Big Nate on offer; these aren't earth-shattering, but they are always of a high, sustained quality, and the narrative drive and character are a lot stronger than for many other syndicated comics. Here, romance is in the air at the fair, Nate finds his life equates with the school hamster's more than it should, and he even falls out of love with Cheez Doodles. If that reference makes no sense, worry not, for these are easy to jump on board with, and whatever the format all the books I've seen of Nate's have been worth a look. A strong four stars.

Our elementary aged children love comic books and graphic novels and are always drawn to the Big Nate book series at the library. While I don't love reading them myself, our kids enjoy them so much and always find the illustrations engaging and the plotlines relatable and humorous.

Our almost 9-year-old enjoyed reading Hug It Out and found the family and school dynamics especially entertaining. These are great for late elementary and middle-grade students as the content is a little more mature than books like the Dogman series.

Big Nate: Hug It Out is yet another offering from Lincoln Peirce. If you are already familiar with Big Nate then you will enjoy this volume.

This is one of those strips that are primarily targeted at late elementary/middle school age but has enough humor beyond that level to entertain adults as well. Most of us can remember 6th grade and while the exact environment has changed the basic human elements are the same. That allows readers of all ages to enjoy Big Nate.

Again, a delight to read! My household loves Big Nate and his crazy hair. It was hilarious when he wanted to sue the school when he fell!

Thank you NetGalley!
