Big Nate is back in the fourth instalment of his own super-funny series. Big Nate is created by Lincoln Peirce, who inspired Jeff Kinney, author of ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’.

When you’ve got a head the size of Big Nate’s then losing is not an option. But Nate’s school P.S. 38 gets beaten by arch-rivals Jefferson Middle School at EVERYTHING. Whether it’s sports, maths or a snowball fight in the park, P.S. 38 just can’t ever seem to win. So when their school springs a leak and they have to join forces with Jefferson for a while, Nate and his friends are mortified. What degrading loses must they face now? Or can Nate find something that P.S. 38 can actually win at?

I was really surprised when I found out that the Jefferson’s used the real statue instead of making it.

I thought it was amazingly tremendous because it had a lot of speech bubbles and they were formed with pictures. Unfortunately the pictures were not coloured in so it was black and white. In it one school never won anything until the end because Nate invented a new competition. The competition was we’re they had to build a snow sculpture and Nate’s team won it and the other team didn’t win because they cheated by putting a metal sculpture and covered it with lots of snow

Big Nate is very funny, it is a fiction book. Nate goes to a doodling club. My favourite character is Nate because he is funny, and gets shouted at by the teachers.

This book was very funny and when Nate’s school won against Jefferson’s Middle School in a snow sculpture I was cheering very loudly.It created so much tension.They all realized they had creativity but the Jeffersons didn’t.

This book was very funny and I was cheering when P.S 38, Nate's school, won against Jefferson's Middle School in a snow sculpture battle! They realised that they had something that the Jefferson's don't have: Creativity! I absolutely loved this book and would recommend it to someone else.
