Dear Mrs. Boyer,

At home and in school, I’m reading about a fiction character. His name is Nate, and he is supposed to be based on the author. He and his school are both very creative, especially in the 4th book, Big Nate Goes for Broke. He’s also very good at working in teams. He is a good leader. Nate is usually also really funny. He can self-control himself and not do every crazy thing that crosses his mind. Nate’s also enthusiastic, honest, and brave. He has lots of social intelligence.

In each of his books, their is a different plot. As a six-grader at P.S. 38, he has dozens of rivalries, like different schools, a mean bully, seventh-grade champions, and lots more! Even his social studies teacher is his enemy. He personally likes cheez doodles, cartooning, and playing hockey. What he doesn’t like is on this list: Figure-skating, drawing girl’s hair, and homework. This is all I can tell you without giving spoilers.

Sincerely,

Jacinta
