Many of my Friends are still waiting to recieve their request for Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth [3]by Jeff Kinney [4]. Do you need something to read in the mean time? I would recommend that you give Big Nate [5]a try, because both authors, Jeff Kinney and Lincoln Peirce, have simular writting styles.
Supremely confident middle school student Nate Wright manages to make getting detention from every one of his teachers in the same day seem like an achievement.
Sixth-grader and self-proclaimed genius Nate Wright faces his all-time enemy, Gina, when they are paired to work on a research paper together and she also gets a position on his intramural team.
