• Gone Horribly Correct: In Big Nate: Flips Out when Nate is hypnotized into condign swell, information technology works...likewise well.

The preview of Big Nate: In the Zone is probably the worst, as information technology shows Nate making the school honor roll and the all-star sports team, likewise as Jenny falling in love with him when he gets lucky. None of those things happen in the book.
