Nate Rocks the World – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat and Think With Your Taste Buds – Desserts
“What
in the world?” I say quietly to myself. I turn back around to look
inside the house. Everything I see is in shades of gray. The blue
couch in our living room is gray. The green front door is now gray.
The grass and the trees, all gray. Even Mom’s bright red van parked in
the driveway is gray. I look down at my body. Sure enough, even my
clothes are all gray! I take a step outside. It is a clear day,
unseasonably warm for October. There is not a cloud in the sky. The
sun – gray of course – shines white beams of light. As I walk down the
street, people I do not recognize start coming out of their houses
wondering, as I am, what
has happened. I see a black spot in the sky growing larger. At first,
I think it is a bird, but as it approaches, I realize that it is
actually a person…flying toward me. A circle of people I don’t know,
gather around me. The man from the sky gets closer. He lands directly
in front of me, and I immediately recognize him.
Ten year old Nathan (Nate) Rockledge loves to draw. His specialty…superhero cartoons where he Nate Rocks
is the hero that saves the moment. Give him a pencil and paper, a
little quiet time and just about any situation and he will solve the
problem as he saves the world. In his cartoon world, even Captain Asteroid seeks Nate’s help to save the world from the evil Dr. Shadow. Even the President seeks Nate Rocks’ help in recovering stolen spy equipment. But what happens when the situation is
real and not make believe? Can the real Nate Rockledge stand up to the plate and become a true hero?
Nate
Rocks the World takes the ordinary life of the Rockledge family and
brings it to life as something most of us can actually relate to. If
you’ve ever had an older sister or brother, you can understand Nate’s
relationship with his older sister Abby. If your dad was like Nate’s
you will see the humor in the stories he constantly tells about his own
childhood. And if you were unfortunate enough to have a mother that
couldn’t cook nor sew you will definitely relate to the bad meals and
bad Halloween costumes created by Nate’s mother. This book is full of
humor and sparked memories from my own childhood. It’s light hearted
and a really enjoyable book to read if you’re an adult and a fun book to
have read to you if you’re still a
child.
