Nate endures a series of middle school hijinks and adventures while dealing with his crush on his baseball team's new pitcher.

Self-proclaimed genius Nate Wright blazes a haphazard trail through the sixth grade at P.S. 38, where between endless misadventures, marked by complaining observations, he earns straight As and numerous detentions.

Middle-schooler Nate Wright vies against his rival, the "perfect" Artur, to win the grand prize of a customized skateboard in their scout troop contest.

After his fight with Randy Betancourt makes headlines in the school paper, Big Nate has a problem worse than detention on his hands.

Can Nate Wright get any cooler? Not according to Nate himself. He's already P.S. 38's rockin'est drummer, finest poet (check out his haiku about Brazil nuts), and deepest thinker--in his own mind. But does Nate have what it takes to hang with Marcus, leader of the school's most notorious posse? Or will he decide that being cool isn't all it's cracked up to be?

Nate Wright is one of a kind. Who else would start a rock 'n' roll band and name it Enslave the Mollusk? Or celebrate Prank Day by arranging a date between Mrs. Godfrey and a lovesick rodeo clown? Or create his own comic book superheroine, Eve (later Steve) of Destruction? Whether he's fast-talking his way out of trouble or unleashing the contents of his locker on unsuspecting classmates, Nate does it with gusto. And every time he swings into action......

It's one, two, three strikes, you're out, as the Cream Puffs seek sweet revenge!

Nate Wright is eleven years old, four-and-a-half feet tall, and the all-time record holder for school detentions in school history. He's a self-described genius and sixth-grade Renaissance man. Middle school kids everywhere can relate to Big Nate's daily battle against overzealous teachers, undercooked cafeteria food, and all-around conventionality.

As his school's centennial is coming up, Big Nate is stuck showing the dorky new kid around.

Nate Wright’s a winner--in his own mind, anyway. So when things go wrong, he’s at a loss to explain why. 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?
