Summary

More
Nate Wright's a winner—in his own mind, anyway. So when things go wrong, he's at a loss to explain why. How does his soccer team manage to lose to a school with a 60-game winless streak? What's he doing at the movies on a Friday night…with Gina? And why, oh why is one of his classmates (hint: she's Nate's dream girl) suddenly moving 3,000 miles away? It's all enough to make a sixth grade superstar feel not so super.

But you can't keep a good man down, and Nate's still got pals like Teddy, Francis, and Chad to cheer him up. Sure, their methods aren't always warm and fuzzy, but Nate doesn't mind. After all, what's a little noogie between friends?

About this Series

Big Nate is an American comic strip written and illustrated by Lincoln Peirce. The series follows the misadventures of Nate Wright—big in his own mind but not actually very tall. A spirited sixth grader with little interest in mastering the finer points of school (like paying attention in class, completing his assignments, and following classroom rules), Nate inevitably finds himself coming into conflict with school authorities, especially his nemesis, Mrs.Godfrey.

"Big Nate started out as more of a 'domestic humor' strip than it is now," says Peirce. "It was my intention to feature a lot of stories about Nate's single dad and all the comic possibilities inherent in that. But before too long, I realized that the part of the strip that I enjoyed most was the school humor. I'd been a teacher myself, and schools can be very funny places."

The strip eventually began to center on Nate, his friends, classmates, teachers, and Middle School P.S. 38. With his natural klutziness, many prank backfires, and comic overconfidence about nearly everything (except for chess, which he's bizarrely good at), Big Nate is the perfect antihero for the middle school crowd, with legions of laughing and devoted fans.

The Big Nate comics have been published in many collections—including the bestselling graphic novel series with over 25 volumes in print. Big Nate has even been made into a musical!
