The 8th title in the New York Times bestselling Big Nate series! With a new crush, and the annual Mud Bowl coming up, can Nate make a good impression without slipping up?

With more detentions than he can count, Nate is in DEEP in Big Nate Blasts Off! When Nate submits a mocking cartoon of Randy Betancourt – winner of PS 38’s ‘most likely to mop the floor with someone else’s face’ award – to the school paper, tensions between the two are on the rise. After Randy jumps Nate the boys are caught in a fight by the Principle and forced to undergo joint peer counselling sessions run by Nate’s arch-enemy: teachers’ pet Gina! And as if that wasn’t enough to deal with the Mud Bowl – an annual ultimate Frisbee game against P.S. 38’s biggest rivals: Jefferson Middle School – is coming up. Will Nate be the star of the team, or a total bomb? And can he keep his crush on new-girl Ruby a secret, or will someone spill the beans?

I really enjoy reading Big Nate books. This book made me smile because Big Nate dealt with a "crush situation" and things finally went as he planned. I would definitely recommend this book!

It's really good because Nate does things, and when he goes to detention the teacher knows him really well because he goes there a lot so he lays his head on the table and thinks about what he did wrong.

This might have been my favourite Nate book yet! Nate clashes with Francis who has been framed of losing a camera. The only solution to this was... Uncle Pedro! Teddy's (Nate's best friend) uncle who hypnotise people and had hypnotised Nate in this case to be extra EXTRA neat! Soon, Nate finds out who it was...

I thought it was great because the message was nice. I like how it has a lot of comics and a relatable setting. I liked Ruby the best because she was nice to Nate. I recommend it to anyone who likes comics.
