Review
Praise for BIG NATE ON A ROLL: “Nate is often compared to Jeff Kinneys Wimpy Kid and will appeal to the same audience, he bears more resemblance to the tricksters of folklore...the interplay between text and pictures remains fresh, as does the distinction between Peirces cartoons and Nates own cartoons.” The Horn Book
Review
"A progressively silly, retro-geeky action story for the YOLO generation"
and#8212;Kirkus
"Schreiber remains talented at combining anything-can-happen action and on-the-mark humor...Rash's spot cartoons are entirely in sync with the story's goofy metafictional humor and deliver many jokes themselves, making the novel read like a distant action-oriented cousin to the Wimpy Kid books."
and#8212;Publisher's Weekly
"Short chapters, engaging titles, lists, and several diary-type sketches will appeal to kids with short attention spans."
and#8212;School Library Journal
"A madcap adventure that leaves no doubt that 'video games are serious business.'"
and#8212;Booklist
