About this title

Review:

"Nate is often compared to Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid and will appeal to the same audience, he bears more resemblance to the tricksters of folklore...the interplay between text and pictures remains fresh, as does the distinction between Peirce's cartoons and Nate's own cartoons."--The Horn Book

Praise for BIG NATE STRIKES AGAIN: "Fans will be in heaven; thank goodness number three is already on the way."--Kirkus Reviews

Praise for BIG NATE: IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF: "Nate's persistent good cheer and moxie make him a likeable new proxy for young misfits."--Booklist

Praise for BIG NATE: IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF: "Laugh-out-loud"--School Library Journal

Praise for BIG NATE: IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF: "Though Nate may not achieve the fame he seeks with his classmates, this sharp-witted and unflappable protagonist just might find it with readers."--Publishers Weekly

Praise for BIG NATE STRIKES AGAIN: "Even the most jaded middle-schooler will find much to laugh about here."--Horn Book Magazine

Praise for BIG NATE: IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF: "Fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, or of Nate himself will savor P.S. 38's most beleaguered hero. What carries the day are the zany illustrations and unflagging enthusiasm of Nate himself."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Big Nate is funny, big time."--Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid
