Big Nate In a Class By Himself By Lincoln Peirce



Big Nate is a funny book.  One day Nate,a sixth grader, opens a fortune cookie that says ''Today you will surpass all others''.  Nate keeps wondering when he will surpass all others because for the last six hours he's been doing the complete opposite of that.  He's tried to surpass all others in lots of different things but it hasn't gone very well.  
Big Nate has lots of cartoon illustrations in it.
You should read Big Nate.  The next book in the Big Nate series is Big Nate Strikes Again.
I give Big Nate

Swindle by Gordon Korman

   













I just read Swindle by Gordon Korman. It was really good. It is about a mean collector named S.Wendell Palomino (a.k.a Swindle) who cheats Griffin out of a rare Babe Ruth baseball card.  Griffin gathers a group of friends to try and get the card back.  They plan to pull a heist the night before Swindle sells the card at an auction.  The starting bid is $200,000!  But Swindle has a few suprises up his sleeve.  Read the book to find out what happens next.

I give this book
