Best Books- Big Nate: In the Zone

Big Nate: in the Zone was so hilarious milk from last year came out of my nose!  The book is written and illustrated by Lincoln Pierce and this is the sixth Big Nate novel.  It's kinda like Diary of a Wimpy Kid in the way it switches back and forth from comics to written story.

The book follows Nate the class clown of his 6th grade class. He has a bad week that tuns into a good week by a little action figure foot.  Nate is always seen with spiky hair.  He is a doodler and cartoonist and he always gets in trouble.  He has mean teachers who give him detention because he doodles on his work.  His two best friends, Teddy and Francis,  are always pranking each other to make their dull school day at PS. 38 interesting.

The most entertaining thing about Nate is that he thinks he is destined for greatness, but he gets really bad grades.  Anyone who has a sense of humor and is bored of school should read this book.  I think the book is best for second to sixth graders. Big Nate: In the Zone is my favorite in the series...so far.

The Top 5 Holiday Gifts of 2013

My birthday is around Christmas.  Every year I try to get the best presents. I have picked out my top five Christmas and birthday presents for a boy for 2013.     

5.   I love to read.  My favorite book this year is Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck by Jeff Kinney. The whole series is full of witty comics and Greg's foolish misadventures.  If the kid in your life loves books, this is the present for him.




4. Hot Wheels cars and sets are super fast, super small and plain awesome mini cars.  My pick is the  Triple Track Twister. I like the TTT because the cars go upside down in this track. I don't know a kid who doesn't like Hot Wheels.

3.  Legos are fun to build with lots of pieces to get everywhere.  I love creating models and once I made my own Area 51.  My favorites for 2013 are the Chima sets. I like the mini fig characters the best because they look like humanoid animals.

2.  Furbys are adorable, fuzzy interactive robot toys.  The Furby Booms require an app. My Furby, Tho Tah, is all blue and very cute. He talks back to me and even dances when I play music for him.

The number one holiday gift of 2013 is...Skylanders Swap Force.  Swap Force is the best because you can swap the characters.  In the game you have to save Skylands from the evil Kaos. It is awesome because the story is fun and you can collect all of the figures.

Any of these gifts will guarantee that you have a excellent holiday.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!
