Funny humor an adult would enjoy. I know this series is very popular but I am a little surprised middle graders would get some of the jokes. This is the only book I have read in the series but it is enjoyable and relatable for kids. Most kids would enjoy it even if they don’t always get the punchline.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the DRC. .

This is a story full of adventure and laughs perfect for the Big Nate series. Middle schoolers will enjoy the humor and fans will enjoy visiting classic series characters. Just remember the humor in this book isn't for everyone. While it isn't offensive really younger readers might want or need to consider waiting until they are older. Read this one or read others, it is more fun to read them in order. I look forward to reading more about Nate and his world in his next book.

This was another huge win in our family! My son looks forward to these books and they just can't be published fast enough for his liking! As soon as I told him i obtained this digital copy he was at the computer completely engaged and zoned right into this whimsical comic. I'm an avid supporter of any author who can get a child to read and Mr Peirce has an amazing talent to keep young readers engaged and wanting more.

Special thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

Whats not to like about Big Nate
Loved this one as much as the others in the series. Thank you for the ARC Netgalley

Picked this one because my son is a huge Big Nate fan and we’ve spent the summer back and forth from the library checking out all the Big Nate books he could get his hands on. Decided to let him read this and then ask him a few questions to review it. He is 10 and doing into 5th grade.

Q: Tell me what this one was about.
A: “So Big Nate is pretty much about different stories throughout the school year. The end is about Valentines Day and how no one accepts his Valentine. Nate had a plan for Valentine’s Day to send messages to single girls and to try and get one of them to be his girlfriend. But it went wrong because pretty much every girl dumped him. “

Q: What was your favorite part?
A: “My favorite part was pretty much how much he got dumped. But I also felt sorry for him some because a lot of girls dumped him.”

Q: What about Big Nate books do you like so much?
A: “Because they’re funny. Very funny. And because they hook me but they’re not too challenging.“


Thanks for the opportunity to read/review! Looking forward to the next installment.

Big Nate stories never disappoint the readers in my home and classroom. Lincoln Pierce captures readers' attention from the very first page. The graphic format is appealing to kids and keeps them turning the pages. The story is easily understood, even if the reader has never read a Big Nate story before. This story will draw in even the most reluctant reader. Nate works with Coach John to try to become a better goalie as he aspires to play college soccer. But, Nate is not a fan of his coach. In Your Face is laugh out loud funny and readers can relate to the player/coach relationship.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

My 12 year old son helped with this review, and it was pretty easy to tell that he liked it as he was grinning from ear to ear while reading. Despite the number of books now issued under the series, the humor and enjoyment in reading remains. In fact, the Big Nate books are one of the few that my children will read time and again. Getting kids to read can be such a challenge sometime, so thank you for these books that keep them delighted and engaged!

This is one of my favorite series to share with reluctant readers. Big Nate: In Your Face is another wonderful installment to an already fabulous series!

Great addition toe the series. My son loves these and we will be adding this to our person collection and the libraries collection.

I really enjoyed this Big Nate comic and the normal funniness that comes from it. It's a great read for all ages.

A worthy addition to the Big Nate collection. There were definitely laugh out loud moments. I will recommend this to students who are already fans of Big Nate and also those who are looking for a fun read.

Another fun installment in the life of Big Nate; 6th grade, soccer dreams and of course, the ongoing battles with Mrs. Godfrey [does she teach the whole school Social Studies???] and the insufferable Gina, all make for a fun and enjoyable read. Middle grade kids will absolutely love this!!

Thank you to NetGalley, Lincoln Peirce, and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

My daughter loves the Big Nate books and this one was no exception. Fun,, entertaining and beautifully illustrated. A must read for all comic book.

Great idea for a book and really well executed. A thoroughly good read. Highly recommended. .

Nate made a mistake. He decided to get serious about soccer so he got a coach. Unfortunately, it was Coach John so he really got a workout! Then there was Mrs. Godfrey's surprise birthday party and the Valentine's Day fiasco. But what really got in his face was Spitsy deserting him to ice skate with Kim. Bad dog! Plenty of the usual fun and shenanigans in this volume of Big Nate!

Thanks Netgalley for the opportunity to read this volume.

My 8 year old daughter has reviewed the newest Big Nate book. She says:

“The Big Nate book series is about a boy name Nate who gets in a bunch of trouble.

There are almost 50 Big Nate books and I don’t think that they get any worse throughout the whole series - it’s always interesting.

This was a great book I enjoyed it so much! I hope that the author writes more books soon and when they do I can't wait to read it! Big Nate is so funny! He is always doing something that is either dumb or funny and those thing are usually hilarious.”

Thanks to NetGalley for access to this ARC! As always, "Big Nate" is a win with kids of all ages. My son (age 9) is a huge fan of the humor and entertaining graphics. Can't wait to see more of this series!

This was my first big Nate story and I thought it was so cute and a good read for younger readers it was also very funny and good story line thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a arc of this book

You'd think after reading as many of these Big Nate books as I have, the format would grow stale, and I would get bored.

And yet. Lincoln Peirce is quite adept at taking the same formula and finding funny and fresh ways to spin it. Nate always manages to be the dunce, and still make us laugh at each of his endeavors. Such as giving every girl in the school a Valentine, in hopes of gaining a girlfriend. (Goes about as well as you would expect.)

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.
