Nat a Chance is the sixth book in the New York Times bestselling series by Maria Scrivan that began with Nat Enough.
I’m new to the Nat universe, but that isn’t a problem. You can definitely read Nat a Chance without reading the other books first. Chances are, though, once you’re finished, you’ll want to read the rest of the series, too.
Nat is a character that you want to get to know. She’s got a great spirit to her, and she’s relatable. Watching her try hard things and push through even when discouraged is encouraging. And the brightly illustrated comic-like panels provide a lot of humor along the way.
Nat a Chance is a fast-moving, wholesome read that middle-readers will fall in love with.
