" Big Nate never fails to make me laugh! In this book we see Nate in detention (again). His detention makes him late for a scouting meeting, so while he is zipping along on his skateboard to get there, he is clotheslined by a dog's leash and looses his skateboard in the river. When he finally arrives at the scouting meeting, he hears about their new fundraiser and that the prize for the high seller is a new custom skateboard! Of course Nate wants to win, but of course Arthur is way ahead of him. He tries many things, to humorous effect, to pull ahead of Arthur, and the reader can't help but cheer him on. Don't miss this one! "
