Big Nate on a Roll by Lincoln Peirce

Big Nate On a Roll is written by Lincoln Peirce. Nate and Arthur -are selling wallpaper and whoever sells the most will win a skateboard. Arthur gets ahead and Nate falls behind. Nate tries to distract Arthur.  Will it work? Nate tries really hard to catch up. Will he catch up or will Arthur win the skateboard?


I like this book because it is funny. The author puts a lot of detail in the story about Nate and how he tries to sell things. This book reminds me of Zinkoff from the book Loser, because when Nate rides his skateboard off the bridge, it's like when Zinkoff trips over his own feet, and falls down.

Review by pineapple

The book Big Nate On A Roll by Lincoln Peirce is about a kid named Nate. Nate got in trouble for nothing. The thing he got in trouble for was he was in charge of holding the ladder for this kid Arthur.  Arthur dripped paint in Nate's eyes. They both fell over. But Arthur fell on top of Nate and Nate got in trouble. Arthur did not get in trouble.

I connect with the book Big Nate because in the beginning he gets in trouble for nothing. This is just like me. I do nothing and I always get in trouble for nothing with my little brother. But after all of that, I really liked the book. Nate always gets in trouble, but he always makes it better with his plans.

The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies

The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies, was about a girl named Jessie and her brother Evan who had a Lemonade War. They had an argument because Evan wouldn’t play with Jessie any more and they agreed to have a Lemonade War. Who ever came up with a hundred dollars or more would win and get the loser's money. So they both had a lemonade stand with their friends, but they added some things to their lemonade stands, like face painting so they could get more money. Then, Evan stole his sister's money, because he knew he was going to lose. He accidently loses the money at his friend’s house. Do you think he is going to tell Jessie? Who do you think will win now?
I really liked this book. I just couldn’t keep my eyes off it. I really loved how there were a lot of cliffhangers, but I would appreciate if the story was told from Jesse's point of view or Evan’s point of view. The Lemonade War really reminded me of when I saw this movie of when two neighbors had a war on who had the best christmas lights.

I Totally Funniest by James Patterson

I Totally Funniest by James Patterson is a great book! In the story, the main character Jamie Grimm has been entered into a Planet's Funniest Kid competition by his Uncle. When Jamie returns home he starts to act like a jerk to his friends, so his friends don’t hang out with him anymore. Jamie also has to face major competition from Chatty Patty, Anthony, and Judy.This book reminds me of a vacation trip I went on to Disney, and once I was in an eating competition. I really like this book because the characters show great feeling and suspense. Read this book to find out if Jamie Grimm wins the Planet's Funniest Kid competition.
