Big Nate Lives it Up, is a wacky and whimsical story, with never ending laughs! The characters also help the plot and story a lot, as they can go against Big Nate, or they can help him, and off endless laughs! Another reason why I love this book is because it also happens to incorporate a little mystery here and there, and will also have you constantly giggling at every page. I would definitely recommend this book to people who enjoy books with lots and lots of humor! The story begins with a new student arriving at the PS 38 middle school. Nate, the main character, had just been asked to show the new kid around and be his friend. Nate is ecstatic to show him around until he actually meets him; a kid who loves to study plants, and doesn’t like physical activity. Nate feels like he knows him, but has never met him in his life. Nate becomes wary to befriend him, until a new competition arrives for the PS 38 100th birthday! Nate investigates this mystery, while also having to constantly spend time with this so-called ‘new kid’. Will they turn out victorious in this competition?
