Nate had to make sure the book was appropriate for his sister. After all it was in the _Teen Romance section.

I’m thinking that Nate, as an 11 year-old on a limited budget, can’t afford to buy an undamaged copy of the book along with the torn copy he’s already being forced to buy.

But, this is Nate we’re talking about. He’s 11 as Lincoln pointed out so he doesn’t think about consequences or think things through. I suppose that is why we keep reading this. We want to see what predicaments he gets himself into. In a way, it reminds me of “I Love Lucy”.

No excuse can work there! @fin3cy6 Even if you say “I wanted to see how bad it was” it is obvious that you wanted to read it for fun. Can anyone think of a really good excuse Nate could use?
