When Nate
gets a fortune cookie that predicts that he would “surpass all the others” – he
did everything in his power to make it a reality. In each class at school, he
tried to make the prediction real but he failed miserably. He even got detention
slips in each class he went to while trying to make his fortune come to life.
What he didn’t realize and what his fortune did not say was that he would
surpass all others… by setting a record for the most detention slips ever in
history! I found this twist to be very humorous. Even though it was a bummer
that he had to go to detention for every class.
I give this
book 5 stars because it keeps you laughing. Nate just happily goes to detention
throughout the book, even though we know that should NEVER happen.
