Big Nate, a.k.a. middle schooler Nate Wright, is eleven years
old, four-and-a-half feet tall, and the wunderkind creation of
cartoonist Lincoln Peirce. Nate is also the star of six novelized
books to be published by HarperCollins, the first of which debuted
on the New York Times children''s best-seller list. This Big Nate
Collection collects Peirce''s Big Nate strips, originally published
only in newspapers.
For those not familiar with Big Nate, think Diary of a Wimpy Kid
meets Calvin and Hobbes. Nate is a self-described genius and a
sixth-grade Renaissance man equipped with only a #2 pencil and the
unshakable belief that he is destined for greatness a fortune
cookie told him so. He fights a daily battle against overzealous
teachers, undercooked cafeteria food, and all-around
conventionality. He''s the original rebel without a clue,
alternately abrasive and endearing to classmates and teachers
alike. Throughout Peirce''s Big Nate Collection, Nate blazes an
unforgettable trail through the sixth grade at P.S. 38, earning
straight As in laughs and numerous detentions along the way.
