This was another great collection of comics by Lincoln Pierce. Big Nate is always entertaining and loved by all ages

A funny and ornery Nate in the life of a 6th grader. A comical layout that is comical in contend. A short spiel on the actual gerbil and I was beginning to wonder if there was gerbil. But forget about the gerbil, I forgot what drama there is in 6th grade. You have your favorite teachers and then you have those that know your number. You have the boy that seems to have it all and then you have Nate.

Nate is prankster so if you don't want your sixth grader getting any ideals, you might want to read this one so you have your sixth grader's number!

A Special Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

This book was received as an ARC from Andrews McMeel Publishing in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I can see why the Big Nate series is very popular. Every time I read a new Big Nate Graphic Novel my stomach hurts from laughing to hard. The words he says and how he treats his teachers reminds me a lot of a more free spirited Young Sheldon and now Nate feeds the class gerbil his homework and when his least favorite teacher Mrs. Godfrey questions him, he stops at nothing to come up with the best excuses to not only get away with not doing his assignment but to maintain his reputation as the class clown and world class prankster. Just like the other books in the series, our young readers will enjoy this book and can't wait until it is released.

We will consider adding this title to our JGraphic Novel collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

Another great book about the mischievous Nate, who - obviously - gets into just as many scrapes as always.

Full disclosure I got this for my cousin's kid to read, and he adored this story. He loved the artwork as per usual and was especially happy that the gerbil was involved.
I quickly went through the book, and thought the parts that I read were comical, definitely veering towards kids as the target audience.
So I am going to give it 5 stars from the lovely nephew of mine who read and enjoyed it.

This was adorable. This is a comic strip of a boy Nate and his misadventures in the sixth grade. It was funny and serious all at the same. time. Nate is a classic underachiever and sometimes he says some profound things. It is interesting to see how the relationships of middle schoolers play out in a comic book. This is enjoyable for all ages.

Great! Another fun adventure for Nate. My son loves all of these and this one we read together. We always anticipate great stories with Nate!!!

The Big Nate series are a big hit with the grade level I teach (4/5). The kids find them funny, they enjoy the pictures, and they are a perfect reading level even for some of my lower readers. My 11 year old daughter read this advanced reader copy and she shared with me her thoughts. She thought The Gerbil Ate My Homework was hilarious, and she will continue to read new books in this series that come out. They are a quick read for her, but she very much enjoys them!

I buy every Big Nate out there for my school library (and I did for my classroom library before), and this title is no different. Nate stories are just so much fun and well done!

My sons are big fans of Big Nate and they eagerly flipped through The Gerbil Ate my Homework. My sons are 6 and 8 and love to read. My six year old, especially, enjoys the fast pace and humor of Big Nate books. He feels like he's accomplished something by reading the entire book and he laughs the entire time. My eight year old frequently turns homework in late, so now he's wishing he had a gerbil to feed it to for the excuse!!
I read over their shoulders and love the brightness and simplicity of the artwork. The story is quick and entertaining and now one is ever bored. Highly recommend!

My son (age 8) loves the "Big Nate" series! He recently started reading them and is completely hooked. This is another great addition to the series. Clever storyline and laugh-out-loud illustrations.

Full disclosure: I request the Big Nate titles from Netgalley because my 11 year-old really enjoys them. To me, they're inoffensive in the same vein as the classic Snoopy comic books. I read them, and they're pleasant, but they don't really resonate with me. That said, I am not the demographic for these comics. Here's a conversation I had with said 11 year-old about this latest Big Nate offering:

Me: So what did you think?
E: I really enjoyed it. I think Big Nate is funny.
Me: What did you like best?
E: I liked that it took place during an entire school year, and that a gerbil was involved.
Me: Was there anything else you really liked?
E: There was a part about mini-golf that was pretty good. When is the next one coming out?

And there you have it! Thumbs up from this household!

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.

In the tradition of Calvin & Hobbes, Lincoln Peirce captures the trauma and drama of middle school. Nate is, as always, relatable and just sarcastic enough. Nate never disappoints and this one is laugh out loud funny. My son can't get enough of Nate's antics.

Thank you Net Galley for the advance copy!

This book is hilarious! Having worked with middle schoolers, this is a completely accurate depiction of how they interact, and demonstrates the issues that are important to them, (many of which are hard for adults to appreciate). Nate, himself is a typical middle schooler, who loves to challenge authority but does so in an adorable and engaging way that teachers and administrators find palatable. He also brings attention to the art of the comic strip - which is important at a time when many adults are understanding the power of graphic novels.

Thank you to the publisher for giving me a free copy in exchange for an honest review

Big Nate is back! With more pranks, excuses and more fun! I loved reading this, it gave me such a nostalgic feel for some reason. It was a super quick read and I enjoyed it so much.
The srt style is very easily readable which makes it very fun and keeps you going.
The dialogue is very basic since it's a comic aimed at younger viewers and all the textbubbles are nicely readable so you don't have to guess what anything says.

I loved this very much!

Unfortunately I'm not able to access this book on my Kindle so I am unable to review if the options change I will edit my review.

I am a middle school teacher and this is my first Big Nate book. (I know, I know.) But now, I understand the hype of my students!! This book was humorous, and the plot was fun. As a teacher, I am always appreciative of Big Nate books, and this one does not disappoint! A truly enjoyable read.

I read this with my 10 year old. He enjoys graphic novels more than standard novels. We loved the introduction of the new character, Dee Dee. It was a great way to refresh the series. We loved that she was dramatic and wanted to be an actor and thought she was a good friend for Nate. Nate always hates his teacher and we thought it was funny to hear all the pranks he pulled on her. We plan on adding this to our Big Nate library when it comes out as they are enjoyable for my son to read who also enjoys drawing. Thank you for the advanced copy, NetGalley.
