Nate Rocks the School
Summary: Nate Rocks the School
Nate Rocks Is At It Again . . .
According to Nathan Rockledge, fifth grade has plenty of perks. Oh sure, there’s more work and that know-it-all, Lisa Crane, is still around – but, there’s a lot to look forward to as well: a laser tag birthday party, baseball at recess, and even a cool Halloween dance. Of course, all of that means nothing without the biggest perk of all . . . the class trip to New York City in the spring. If Nathan’s class can raise enough money to go, that is.
Give Nathan paper and a pencil and watch as his imagination turns him into Nate Rocks, hero and fifth grade super star. With adventures abound, Nate saves the day time and again. But will Nate be able to save the fifth grade trip?
Join Nathan, his hilarious family, and his friends, as he rocks the school in another fun Nate Rocks adventure.
My Review of Nate:
When I first got this book ARC for the tour, I thought to myself, "Oh, this will be a fun, quick read." And it was, but it was more than that, too.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the characters that Karen Pokras Toz created. Nate was believable and true to kids age. But while I enjoyed it, I wanted to get the kids perspective on the book. Since I have two avid readers of my own, I loaded the book onto my kindle and passed it on to my thirteen year old son, Alex, and my ten year old daughter, Sophie. Now, both of these kids are fairly picky about the books they will read and often complain that the ones they get from school are boring.
They didn't do that with Nate Rocks the School.
In fact, they both begged for more. In fact, Alex's favorite books are the Diary of a Whimpy Kid Books and he told me that Nate rates right up there with Greg Heffley. So needless to say, I highly encourage everyone to read these books, and encourage their children to, as well.
An amazing book, by an amazing author. I look forward to her future works.
