Hot off the best-seller list, Big Nate is in a class by himself. This spunky 11-year-old holds the school record in detentions, but that doesn’t stop him from dreaming big!

Big Nate is taking it from the top—the top of the troublemaker's list!

Nate Wright is eleven years old, four-and-a-half feet tall, and the all-time record holder for school detentions in school history. He's a self-described genius and sixth-grade Renaissance man. Middle-grade kids everywhere can relate to Big Nate's daily battle against overzealous teachers, backbreaking homework, wimpy cafeteria food, and all-around conventionality. This collection features cartoonist Lincoln Peirce's daily and Sunday comic strips packed with his vintage flair and insights into school humor.

Big NATE #4 is coming!!! #1: In a class by himself #2: Strikes again #3: On a roll ------------___--------- INFO: #1: Nate Wright opens the world with a fortune. he gets 'Surpass all others' instead of 'buy new pants'. #2 : nate wright gets paired with gina hemphill-thomas. Gina: F and Nate? OH, e got an A+. #3: No Info Left. #4: 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.

If you don't know who bIG Nate is, think Calvin and Hobbes combined with Diary of the Wimpy Kid. You will find yourself laughing with every page turn.

This book was a bunch of little comic strips about a boy named Nate who is always getting in trouble at school. It was really good because Nate is hilarious. The illustrations are super good too. If it was in full color like Big Nate I Can't Take it, it would great. I would definitely recommend this book to people who like to laugh.

I really enjoyed this book because Big Nate is doing dumb things which get him in trouble. I think that Nate is a very funny person and is determined to do anything to get to his goal or should I say his soccer goal. Some of the things he does are like he gets puts in detention 20 times a week, and he also draws evil comics about his teacher which the teacher always sees, even though he doesn't know it. I think that other people should read this book because this is the funniest book that I ever read in my life. I also think this book can show you how to laugh.

this book is great its funny i believe a lot of people will love this book. this book is on of the great book in the big Nate series

This book is so awesome! I just love the relationships Nate has with the people in his life. it's really funny seeing how Nate reacts and connects with every one else

it was a funny easy to read book. it is very similar to diary of a wimpy kid. but different story. if you have a sense of humor you should read this.

This book was awesome. It was easy for me to read because I finished it in three days. I like the book because Nate is funny. He dressed up like a detective and he helps his friend find his money for the bookfair.

funny and easy to read book
