Can Nate clean up his act, or will he flip out first?
For fans of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series: Meet Big Nate, world-class boredom buster and definitely NOT the teacher’s pet.
“Big Nate is funny, big time.”—Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid
From Booklist
In his latest outing, world-class slob Nate Wright alienates best buddy Francis by publicly revealing his middle name (“Butthurst”), responds to a posthypnotic suggestion by becoming an eerily obsessive neat freak, and loses a borrowed camera. The largely visual narrative is composed of pen-and-ink cartoon panels and comics pages that are linked by short passages of present-tense commentary and stocked with sound effects and coded messages. Peirce tidily resolves all three crises while leaving his Wimpy Kid alternate on top in the wake of a closely fought school Trivia Slam. Yuks galore, with a large, ready-made audience. Grades 3-6. --John Peters

His Big Nate books have been featured on Good Morning America and in the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and the Washington Post.
