  A funny, new addition to the Big Nate collections where Nate falls in love with the new pitcher, Jenny comes back, school starts, Chad goes on a diet, and other antics ensue. The comics in this book were of regular, Big Nate quality with characters well-formed, coloured, and consistently drawn (because don't you just hate when a good illustration of a character changes). The stories were of decent quality, my favourite being the Chad diet because there was a good punchline on every page. My favourite line in this book has to be "Historians are still debating that" because it is such a serious line, but the juxtaposition of its seriousness and Nate saying it just killed me.

  I ordered the Comics Plus Library Edition with my Scholastic dollars from my spring book fair so I needed to see what all the fuss was about with Big Nate. I went into the book thinking it would be an average read, but I ended up really seeing it through the students' eyes and why they enjoy this series. I just might read more during this quarantine. As a school librarian and parent, I believe it is important for students read all types of books. I got a good chuckle out of this one!

  I really liked this book it had great humor and comedy to make you laugh. It isn't a 5 because it has some repetitive jokes but overall this book is great book that is relatable because he is also a middle schooler who goes through school problems.

  I have been reading Big Nate comics since my younger years. Big Nate: A Good Old-Fashioned Wedgie is a compilation of comics about Nate Wright. From his newest crush, to his summer vacation and the dreaded return back to school, and, of course, a few good old-fashioned wedgies. Staring all the characters we've grown to know, love, and loathe, this is another addition to a great series.
  
  A collection of comical fun for the whole family. Whether you're reading this with your kids or letting them read it on their own, it's a hoot. This is a great gift for those little ones in your life. There are even jokes for the older folks.

  Nate is his good, old self. In Big Nate: A Good Old-Fashioned Wedgie he takes time to brush up on his grammar skills, his baseball finesse, and his detective sleuthing...all with questionable success. He is also finding time to dabble in romance now that Jenny is back in town. However, Jenny still wants absolutely nothing to do with Nate. But, Nate can be patient!
  
  Full of humor and laugh-out-loud antics, this Big Nate will not disappoint fans.

  Big Nate is good for the occasional chuckle, but the repetition of gags from volume to volume does wear on a constant reader.

  Just in case the title isn’t enough, the cover shows a kid giving another kid a wedgie. Believe it.
  I’ve read this comic strip before, and despite the fact the main character is a total butt monkey it’s pretty funny, even hilarious at times. In this edition Nate’s back on the baseball team, though quickly benched for rapping from the outfield, falls in love for the millionth time, sees a past crush return from Seattle, offers to help dad with his manscaping, helps his buddy with a diet, binges on X-Files, and talks like Stewie from Family Guy.
  Best lines:
  “Historians are still debating that.” Works every time.
  “Scooby Doofus!” Wish I’d thought of that.

  Nate is back in a book that mostly covers the summer. He's playing baseball again but Chester isn't their pitcher this year. Instead, Nate's dad calls one of Nate's old preschool playmates to come in and help out. Nate is crushing on her pretty hard until he finds out that Jenny has moved back to town. There is a storyline with Nate being astonished that Chad is getting so many signatures in his yearbook. Toward the end, we get a few strips with Mrs. Godfrey. Because how could this be a Big Nate book without her?

  'Big Nate: A Good Old-Fashioned Wedgie' by Lincoln Peirce is another laugh out loud connection of comic strips starring perpetual middle-schooler Big Nate.
  
  This time around, Nate's baseball team gets a new pitcher and Nate has a crush. There is the return of a character that hasn't been seen for a while. Grandpa visits without grandma. Nate gets detention. For some reason, the girls don't ask Nate to sign their yearbooks, but Chad is unusually popular.
  
  Lincoln Peirce is consistently funny with this series, and even though the situations are similar in the collections, I still find funny stuff in these.
  
  I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

  My son absolutely loves anything Big Nate! He literally inhales these books! There are not tons of books that a 8-11 year old will just sit down willingly, without any coercion and just read for pleasure! Big Nate captures the magic of youth and presents great stories with fun drawings! I think my kid forgets he is reading!!!
  If you have a struggling reader or one who just doesn't enjoy reading, I highly recommend any of these! My son has read-and owns- every single one of these because he has such a good time reading them! In fact, I will catch him re-reading them!
  Do yourself a favor and check these out!

  I was not sure what to expect from my guest Big Nate book but I enjoyed it. I have read plenty of kids series and comics and this is one for pure lighthearted enjoyment. It reminded me a bit of diary of a wimpy kid in comic form. I will look forward to more lighthearted reading with the next book I pick up from the series.
  
  I want to thank the publisher and netgalley for giving me a copy in exchange for an honest review.

  I understand Big Nate comes from a whole series of books in a comic book-style, but this is the first that I've seen. It's a nice middle school-age friendly tale about Nate looking for love at school. It's a nice change to read a story in this format than just simple text, and I imagine young teens will enjoy reading this. In fact I really enjoyed it and I am definitely not a teenager! Definitely recommend as a bit of light-hearted reading for pre-teens.

  This book was a good read and I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a funny book or likes comics.
  
  This book was about the usual Big Nate books- Nate's life in school. Chad goes on a diet, Nate wedgies a snooty kid bragging about his private school, and Nate has a crush on his baseball teams new pitcher.
  
  This book was very funny and I was cracking up a lot. I recommend this for ages 8+. It also comes with a big pullout poster!!

  I see why my middle school students love Big Nate, but I didn’t personally enjoy it at all. I would recommend it for any upper elementary or middle school age kiddo looking for a funny book, especially if they are reluctant readers. I mean, what was I expecting from a book with wedgie in the title?!?

  Big Nate is solid comedy gold for the younger spectrum of YA. I love buying these books for my 9-year old godson, and will continue to do so. Always a joy, and good for a chuckle.

  The latest in the Big Nate graphic novel series will not disappoint fans of Nate and his antics. Colorful, funny. Will also appeal to reluctant/struggling readers (especially true in middle school settings).
