“Fantastic read for Elementary students who struggle to find 'interesting', 'funny' books. By using Nathan's imaginary counter part Nate Rocks, the reader is taken on adventures that ordinary 10 year olds aren't involved in. Quick paced and easy to read I think that this book will definitely Rock your Readers boat!” -Melanie Schemanski , A Year of Jubilee Reviews
“This book is perfectly created for the [middle grade] reader…It was like I was right there, alongside Nate, experiencing each and every up and down he was going through. And, I enjoyed every minute!...Definitely recommended for children or the child hidden in all adults. - Ritesh Kala's Book Reviews
“Nate Rocks is back and better than ever! This is a must have for the young readers in your life!” - Stacey Rourke, Author of The Gryphon Series
“What can I say? Nate has done it again! The author continues to show us the world from the viewpoint of a ten-year-old child, in a very well done way.”- Rute Canhoto, Author
“I loved reading Nate Rocks the Boat. It was a fun and entertaining read even for an adult like me. I can definitely see how younger readers, especially boys will love reading all about Nate and his family and friends. Nate's adventures both in his mind and in his "real" life keep the reader interested from start to finish. I loved getting a glimpse into the life of a young boy with an aggravating big sister, struggles with sports, and normal kid issues. This is a great book for ages 7 and up - especially great for 10 year old boys like my son who are reluctant readers.” -Susan, Mom Loves 2 Read
"The camp setting offers up new adventures for Nathan, both real an imagined; an overzealous counselor, Color Wars, and a campout are just a few of the scenarios that lead Nathan down the road to imaginary greatness. The Nate Rocks books are geared toward boys, but boys and girls both can relate to Nathan’s annoying older sister, his fear of team sports and his desire to be accepted by his peers". -Nancy, 5MinutesForBooks.com

“Nate Rocks The Boat is a fantastic tale filled with adventure, action and, most importantly, imagination. The “Nate Rocks” series recognizes that it is alright to be different. It also shows the pressure that most kids go through. It is difficult to find books that interest boys but this one is sure to pique their interest. I suggest giving your favorite fourth grader a copy of “Nate Rocks The Boat” and sit back and listen for the giggles."

"Karen Toz has done it again! It's very difficult to find a book that boys will love. Nate fills the bill. This is the second installment in the Nate series. It's fantastic to read about a great kid who knows how to use his imagination. There is a great lesson about friendship in this book. The lesson is given in a fun to read manner. Kids, especially boys, will love this book. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for Nate's next adventure." -Donna Lawrence, Book Lovers Paradise |

"Nate Rocks is back and at it again. This time he is at summer camp, and he is experiencing a lot of new, real-life adventures along with his imaginary adventures. It is rare to find a book directed toward middle grade boys, and Karen Pokras Toz has done an excellent job bringing Nate to life once again. The trials and triumphs of summer camp are described perfectly and with a lot of humor. Kids will easily lose themselves in this book and feel like they are right there at camp with Nate. Along with all of the imagination and adventures, Karen also portrays a beautiful message of friendship. I would definitely recommend this book and this series, and I am looking forward to Nate's next adventure." – Krazy Book Lady
“Nate certainly rocks more than just the boat in this story... he proves that hard work, honest fun and having a great sense of humor can often help you in many situations. Once again author Karen Pokras Toz keeps the reader glued to the printed page, engaged in every adventure that Nate encounters and hoping that he comes out on top because we all know not only does Nate Rock so does the author. This is great for kids of all ages to teach loyalty, friendship, dealing with bullies, teamwork and just plain how to have some real fun. Cannot wait for the next one.” -Fran Lewis, Author and Radio Show Host
“This was such a delight to read – a great adventure that will keep the reader’s attention riveted to every turn of the page. Children, and adults alike, will enjoy such a wonderful story. While this is the second book of such a great series, the book can certainly stand alone. I look forward to reading more of Nate’s adventures as they become available.” -Lissette E. Manning, Author & Reviewer
“Author Karen Pokras Toz has managed to do it again with Nate Rocks the Boat, the follow-up to Nate Rocks the World. I read a digital version of this book to my 10-year-old son ... and we laughed throughout. If you haven't read either Nate Rocks the World or Nate Rocks the Boat, you're seriously missing out!”
-Melissa Luznicky Garrett, Author & Reviewer
“You know what I love about Nate? His frank and honest tone. Nate’s tween view of the world is exactly the right combination of sardonic spark and hopeful optimism. This is the perfect book for boys who need to have something happening on every page, either adventure or hilarious banter. -Pam Torres, Author & Reviewer
"This is a must-read book for all kids, especially boys, of around age ten. The adventures happening to Nate are close to home for a lot of kids, and they’ll easily recognize themselves in the characters. I very much enjoyed reading this book, and am keeping my fingers crossed author Karen Pokras Toz decides to write more books in the Nate Rocks series" – This is a must-read book for all kids, especially boys, of around age ten.

"Nate's voice is something readers (especially boys, even reluctant reader boys!) will love. When combined with Nate's imaginary adventures as Nate Rocks, the adventure in this book, well, ROCKS!" -Barbara Anne Watson
