Big Nate from the Top
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Peirce, Lincoln, PUBLISHER: Andrews McMeel Publishing, "<strong>Bigstrong> Nate," a.k.a. middle schooler Nate Wright, is eleven years old, four-and-a-half feet tall, and <strong>thestrong> wunderkind creation of cartoonist Lincoln Peirce. Nate is also <strong>thestrong> star of six novelized books to be published by HarperCollins, <strong>thestrong> first of which debuted on <strong>thestrong> "New York Times" children's best-seller list. This "<strong>Bigstrong> Nate Collection" collects Peirce's "<strong>Bigstrong> Nate" strips, originally published <strong>onlystrong> in newspapers. For those not familiar with "<strong>Bigstrong> 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 <strong>onlystrong> a #2 pencil and <strong>thestrong> 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 <strong>thestrong> original rebel without a clue, alternately abrasive and endearing to classmates and teachers alike. Throughout Peirce's "<strong>Bigstrong> Nate Collection," Nate blazes an unforgettable trail through <strong>thestrong> sixth grade at P.S. 38, earning straight As in laughs (and numerous detentions) along <strong>thestrong> way.
