I recommend it as a middle grade book that is funny and a long series so it will have new books all the time. And a new one just came out around 8 days ago as of 3/24/26 and there are more coming soon like the next book the Curse Of The Puffy Shorts is the next one so the author Lincoln Peirce is still writing the books and is not planning to stop any time soon.

Good Points

The genre is fantasy and if the reader will love the book the series is over 20 books and the adventures Nate and his friends go through change a LOT and I mean a LOT from the first book to second and the adventures change with every book. In each adventure it features the all mighty Nate and Nate’s friends also change a lot as well.

The main plot is Nate, Teddy, and Francis go on new adventures in every book and new substitutes for what Nate's classes are, it all changes constantly. Those changes are to everything the school Nate himself Nate’s friends and even the background changes so often.

Nate Francis and Teddy are the three main characters and they are very distinct with Nate having weird hair and a yellow shirt, Francis has blonde hair and a green shirt and Teddy has a red shirt with a black dot in the middle and is nearly bald but has black hair there are more characters you meet along the way too like Jenny is Arthur's girlfriend but Nate wants to be Jenny's boyfriend.
