NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES! A special Big Nate volume including all of the full-color comics from Big Nate: From the Topand Big Nate Out Loud. Big Nate is in a class by himself. Middle-grade kids everywhere can relate to Nate as he survives the terrors of sixth grade, facing off against overzealous teachers, undercooked cafeteria food, and grade-grubbing classmates. Nate may be a troublemaker and the all-time record holder for most detentions in school history, but he gets there in style--taking on everything from glory on the sports field to becoming the lead singer in his friends' band, with hilariously unexpected results along the way. Grab your backpack and join Big Nate in this extra-amusing comic strip collection as he blazes through the halls of P.S. 38, leaving a trail of destruction, detention slips, and many, many laughs in his wake. Kids love the Big Nate series! With just the right mix of sass and heart, it's the perfect fit for beginning and reluctant readers and laugh-out-loud fun for all aged 8-12.
