Big Nate: In Your Face! by Lincoln Peirce follows the adventures of Nate and his sixth grade friends told in comic book style. Honestly, this was the first time I have read one of these books although my son has almost all of the other twenty Big Nate books. I was originally introduced to this series when I was asking our librarian to give me a book, any book to get my eight year old to read. What ensued has been a whole shelf of books from the masterful Lincoln Peirce and most importantly a son who chooses to read on his own now!

I let my 13 year old son read it first. He was laughing out loud and sharing jokes the whole time he was reading. The jokes were pretty funny, but I am not the demographic so I wasn’t falling over in glee quite as much as my son. He did share that he was glad Nate gave a valentine to every girl at school so no one would feel left out. He also loved that Nate gave a paper to another basketball player with his insults written on it because he was not allowed to verbally trash talk him. I probably could have done without that action, but Nate does not disappoint with his clever ways of interacting with the world. I really liked his friendships with DeeDee, Francis, and Teddy. My son did say the book was a little shorter than he was used to, but perhaps that was because he usually has a hard copy to read.

As always the art was phenomenal and the comic book format will appeal to reluctant readers. Big Nate is a little older but still relatable to the middle grade readers. His adventures will keep kids interested and amused.

I was provided a free advance reader copy from Andrews McMeel Publishing in exchange for my honest review on Net Galley. The opinions shared in this review are my own.

Great book! Another edition of Nate's antics that felt fresh and new, unlike some of the other Big Nate comics I've read recently where they continue to rehash the same few things. The Godfrey storylines feel reused at points but I like that it was ~spiced up~ a little by introducing the class pet. I particularly enjoyed Nate's valentines day antics as he continues his unsuccessful pursuit in the name of love. I also really want to know if that girl ended up reciprocating feelings for Nate!

My Big Nate lover raved about this book. She read cover to cover in one sitting and was audibly laughing. When asked, she said it was awesome! We can't wait for it to be published.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I didn't know this graphic novel was a part of a series at first, then I check and turned out it's well loved.
The art was standerd and the stories were bright and funny.
I liked it.

thanks to netgalley for this cheerful graphic novel, Big Nate is always fun!

In this issue the 6th grader Nate has a lot of things to handle – soccer ball coach, his arch nemesis Gina.
Nate has a new job as well to handle, he gets a chance to intern at Klassic Komix and does a fabulous job!
Nate thinks he is the sweetheart of the school and decides to give a valentine’s day card to all the girls (because he doesn’t want to be biased ). He is also dragged to celebrate Mrs. Godfrey’s birthday and express his liking to her (hahaha)

My youngest daughter loves all The Big Nate books. I thought I would read this one to see what the appeal was all about. The story was fun and age appropriate for my 9 year old. If you're looking for a way to get your child into reading, Big Nate is a great place to start. The graphics and format are wonderful for kids. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to review this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Can you believe there are over 20 "Big Nate" books? I feel like just yesterday the first one was published. This series always goes "missing" at my library.

Big Nate is back, and "Big Nate: In Your Face" is another great addition to the series. Lincoln Pierce can always make me giggle, even though his books are intended for middle grade readers. Nate's friends compare him to his arch-enemy, Gina! Nate starts an internship at Klassic Komix. If that's not enough, poor Nate gets sucked into a surprise party for his least-favorite-teacher, Mrs. Godfrey.

Definitely enjoyable and looking forward to its release on March 2, 2021.

Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me a copy of the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I laughed out loud several times while reading this. Nate's continuing antagonism with Mrs. Godfrey takes an interesting turn. I was happy to see more time given to Chad and Dee Dee. They added to the humor and took the strings in a few new directions. I would heartily recommend this book.

My son enjoys reading graphic novels and Big Nate is one of the series of books he has recently been into reading. This one is as funny as the others and I found him laughing throughout different parts of the book. I would recommend this book to middle grade readers as the character Nate is a sixth grader.

My 7-year old has read every Big Nate book she can get her hands on, so she was more than thrilled to get to read this one a bit early. She enjoyed this one as well, because she loved that it was all in color and found multiple parts to be really funny. She plans to read this one again very soon!

Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC

Another series of Big Nate.

There is nothing new about Nate and his friends but it is still funny in some panels.

I am glad to see Nate can finish his homework with a good grade from his teacher. At least there is something good happen after all the miserable social study class with Mrs. Godfrey.

I'd love to read next volume.

My kids (and now my grandkids too) have been reading Big Nate books forever!! Lincoln Pierce, in my opinion, is one of the best author's of cartoon/graphic novels for kids! In this series of comics, Nate Wright, a sixth grader, gets a job as an intern at the Klassic Komix. Through his job and interaction with both his friends (and foes), lots of crazy adventures await him! The fact that this is book #24 in the Big Nate series speaks volumes to the success of this author!

Thank you to the publisher, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and Net Galley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest and unbiased opinion. Great clean children's book!

Note: If you're reading Big Nate Comics for the first time, I recommend reading Big Nate book 1 first so you can familiarize yourself with the characters. The easy-to-read comic format has a bunch of mini-stories set in the Big Nate world - great for my ADHD mind. My kids (elementary - high school) love this series.

Middle schoolers Nate and friends continue their antics. Favorite scenes include Nate dream walking, Dee Dee's first monopoly game, Chad's sleepover at Nate's, and picture day for Teddy. To avoid spit-choking, keep your sodas away - you WILL laugh!

I received a free copy of this book via Net Galley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

My son says, "It was really good. It is way funnier than all the other Big Nate books." He said one of his favorite parts was the surprise party for Mrs. Godfrey. He also says he wants to keep reading this series and hopes more come out.

So that's the 8 year old perspective. I also enjoyed it as an adult. I think there are a lot of jokes that require a lot of background knowledge that I'm not always sure kids have. I know my 8 year old doesn't, but he's also not quite the prime age demographic for this book.

Big Nate: In You Face is another great addition to the Big Nate series by author Lincoln Pierce. Our 10-year-old son has been reading these for several years now, and they are always one of his first choices from his bookshelf.

He enjoys the relatable characters and scenarios, quirky humor, and engaging plotlines. Big Nate: In Your Face has all the diverse chracters he has grown to love, and the predictable yet important middle grade issues he can relate to and also learn from.

The humor works perfectly for it's intended audience and the storyline keeps it's reader engaging until the very last page. As a parent who is hoping to instill a lifelong long of reading, book series like Big Nate are a reminder that the most important thing you can do for young readers is engage them and show them there really is a genre of books for everyone.

Thank you to Andrews McNeel Publishing for my gifted copy in exchange for a honest review.

The latest Big Nate compilation brings back the cast of characters we all love. From Francis the trivia nerd, to Gina in the role of Nate’s brainiac nemesis, Chads’ adorableness and the dreaded Mrs. Godfrey, fans of this series and the daily comic will want to add this to their collection. This would be a great stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift for kids.
Lincoln Pierce is a treasure and I look forward to reading about Nates’ adventures for years to come.
Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for the free ecopy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Big Nate: I Your Face! is a kids comic targeting middle school age. It comes with lots of humor and true-to-life growing pains. Reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes, it is a fresh voice of hilarity that this age group will enjoy. Highly recommended.

Big Nate is a series both my middle grade children love. It appeals to girls and boys alike. I have never read any of the Big Nate series and was glad for an opportunity to do so. My kids have read each and every one and were so excited to see what was coming next!

This book had mixed emotions for me. I applaud Lincoln Pierce for bringing joy back to reading for those kids that maybe don’t reach towards books for entertainment. Graphic novels with relatable material are hard to come by. I do feel some of the humor was more adult that pre-teen but wasn’t offensive or vulgar.

I found many of the little clips funny and so real life. I think it’s therapeutic for kids to find humor in day to day life, especially in the school scene where expectations can become stressful.

I do wish there was better flow to the book. I felt like we were jumping all over the place. There wasn’t clear changes to scenes or anything resembling a lifelike timeline.

Overall, I rate this book a 4 out of 5. Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

5/5

Another great addition to the BIg Nate Comics Collections by Lincoln Peirce. I absolutely love this series and it always brings me back to my childhood.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the Big Nate Comics and really just Comics in general.

My fourth graders have often talked about Big Nate books, but had never read one until Big Nate: In Your Face! I enjoyed it and there were many parts that literally had me laughing out loud, I wonder if some of the funny parts in the book are things that kids would think are funny for the same reasons. There are a few parts that made me go hmmm at the adult humor. I would be interested in reading other Big Nate books and seeing if they are all the same way. That might make me reconsider the age groups I would allow to read it.
