Synopsis

Already a New York Timesbest-seller, it's two firsts in one for a Big Natebook! The first Sundays-only and first full-colour Big Natecollection both debut in Big Nate All Work and No Play. Enjoy more than two years of Sunday cartoons, portraying the colourful life of Nate Wright. This spunky eleven-year-old holds the school record for detentions and is in little chance of losing that distinction, but that doesn't stop him from dreaming big!

He's a self-described genius, a sixth-grade renaissance man, and a full-fledged believer in his future as a cartoonist. Equipped with a No. 2 pencil and the unshakable belief that he is No. 1, Nate fights a daily battle against overzealous teachers, undercooked cafeteria food, and all-around conventionality.
