Nate Wright an average kid that just hates school, decides that him and his friends should join the P.S. 38 chronicle (basically a yearbook) club. All he wanted was to be the photographer, but Francis (his best friend) would not stop yapping about how unorganized he is. But he becomes the photographer anyway. So, Francis worryingly let Nate use the camera that only he was allowed to get as the school editor. But when the camera goes missing, Francis blames it all on Nate and they get into a huge argument until Nate spills out the dirty secret Francis told him in 3rd grade and the one he said he would never tell all because of his sloppiness. Then, as the days past, Francis lost Nate's trust and you might say that they were no longer friends.Nate had gone too far this time. So with the help of 2 close friends (Dee Dee and Teddy) he had Teddy's uncle hypnotize him to become a neat freak. Now he can't even touch anything that might get him dirty. He realized that being a neat freak had it's ups and downs but he had to think about which one would help him gain Francis's trust. Big Nate Flips Out is about friendship, trust and honesty!

I think the book was awesome. Even the author of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" like it. I like to call Nate "The Detention Kid," because he gets detention almost every single day. Nate has two good friends, Francis, who he knew sense kindergarten and never gets detention, and Teddy who was new at first but they got along quite alright, they even had detention together once. There some people he hates though, especially a girl named Gina, who is a big tattle tale and a total nerd, and his Social Studies teacher, Mrs. Godfery, who I think Nate most of his detentions from.

I recently finished Big Nate Flips Out by Lincoln Pierce. The character I'm choosing to write about is Nate. He is very funny and is extremely messy. His friends want him to clean up his act so he goes to his friend's uncle's house who is a magician and gets hypnotized. Then, he becomes really clean and all the teachers love him because he doesn't turn in his assignments in bad condition. But Nate doesn't like to be the teacher's pet. Nate always gets sent to detention but he doesn't anymore. The detention monitor can not even recognize Nate anymore because he is not going in detention. But then, he gets in a fight with a bully and turns back into his old, messy self. I recommend this book to you because it is really good.

For some reason I thought Big Nate was younger than middle school.Maybe because he looks younger on the cover?I thought this was a good story though.His friendship is tested,he gets hypnotized (LOVE that uncle character!)and the rest is hilarious.I like the illustrations inside,and like Big Nate's comic takes on things.I don't like that most if not ALL of the teachers are portrayed as being horrible.(except the librarian who sticks up for Nate, even after he ruins library books...)but that opinion could be the adult in me.I remember making fun of teachers in sixth grade;just not all of them!I think I'm going to read some more of these books,if I can get them from the library!They're flying off the shelves!

This may be my favorite Big Nate book! Due to an explosive fight with his best and longtime friend, Francis, Nate feels compelled to make some big changes to show Francis he is not a total slob. Kids will love the secret coded messages throughout the book and all the funny and often silly conversations back and forth between the characters. Big Nate books are a must have for any school library or classroom, a guaranteed hit.

I like the book because it's funny. In this story it talks about this kid called Nate that would always get bad grades in class but then one day he gets his history score test back and it was 100%. I recommend this book to Alejandro because he likes to laugh.

I think this book was great. I liked this book because it's one of those books that are funny. I want to read more of these books in the future. I just can't find them and it's sad because I want to read more of this book.

The book "Big Nate Flips Out" is a very interesting and funny book, consisting of dramatic parts and arguments between two friends who were arguing over a stolen camera. Nate didn't want Gina taking over co-editor so he told Francis to take charge and ask Mrs. Godffrey for the school camera. Suddenly, someone stole the camera away from Nate's locker and Francis found out and they had a huge argument leading to them yelling stuff at each other that shouldn't have been said. Teddy takes Nate to his uncle Pedro about how to be neat and Nate got hypnotized leading him to be neat. That didn't last long because later Nate got into a fight with Randy (a school bully.) The camera was found in Nate's locker and Nick was the one who took it he was recorded by Dee-dee and he got suspended for 1 week. That led to Nate and Francis being friends again and being champions of the Trivia Slam.

Big Nate Flips Out is about Nate and his two best friends, Teddy and Francis. Nate wants Francis to become co editor for the yearbook because Nate's enemy, Gina, would just make the year book full of pictures of herself. Francis becomes co editor of the year book and Nate wants Francis to get him a camera from the staff room because he is allowed to use since he is co editor. Nate promises he will not lose the camera but it gets taken from his locker. Francis and Nate get in a big fight. Nate wants to go to Teddy's uncle, Pedro, so he can hypnotized him so he can be neater and find the camera.I really liked this book and would recommend this book to anyone who likes funny books or books about hypnosis. My favorite part of this book is when Gina gets furious when Francis joins the year book committee. I thought this book had a valuable lesson in it. I thought the valuable lesson in this book was to trust your friends if they say they didn't do something.

Read and Rated by Cooper (3rd Grade) ... he had been introduced to Big Nate at school as asked for this one at the school book fair after Parent/Teacher conference. I bought it for him and he read it in just a few days. I haven't read it myself (skimmed it, I have trouble "reading" these types, like Wimpy Kid, Captain Underpants, I like a STORY) ... some block comics, some paragraphs/sentences. We noticed Big Nate in our Sunday comics (I hadn't really noticed it before.)At the very end there was a small discusion of phobias (I pointed the word out to my son, he hadn't sounded it out correctly in his head). The line "I'm afraid of snakes, and clowns, and yogurt" made him laugh and share it with his younger brother. My boy had a weather phobia last year, and I'm SO glad it is a thing of the past!

Lincoln Peirce has brought his “Big Nate” comic strip to book form in this 5th book in the Big Nate series. Nate Wright is the sloppiest sixth grader around. He can’t even open his locker without being buried in an avalanche of “stuff”. While working on the school yearbook, Nate loses the school camera. When Francis takes the blame for the lost camera and receives his first detention, Nate decides to make it up to his friend by becoming neat and responsible. Will all this neatness cause Nate to “flip out”? The black & white illustrations combine comic strip panels with doodles by Nate. This book reminds me of Jeff Kinney’s “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series. It is fast paced and humorous. I think reluctant readers will gobble this up.

Big Nate Flips Out is a great book about a boy named Nate who is super messy. In the story he has a best friend named Francis. Francis is unlike Nate, because he's neat and smart but Nate is messy and dumb. Nate and Francis go to middle school together. They both are very close friends until Francis decides to get a camera for Nate to use for yearbook class. Then Nate lost the camera that Francis gave him. Will Nate and Francis still be best friends after Nate lost the camera?I would recommend this book to people who like surprises. It's a short read but still very entertaining,funny, and enjoyable to read. I think that it was very well written. As you can see you should read this book.
