Publisher Description

Soon to be an animated series from Nickelodeon!

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

For fans of the hilarious Diary of a Wimpy Kid series: Get ready to meet Big Nate! In the first novel in the New York Times bestselling series, Big Nate is in a class by himself!

Nate knows he’s meant for big things. REALLY big things. But things don’t always go your way just because you’re awesome. Nate barely survives his dad’s toxic oatmeal before rushing off to school—minus his lunch. He body slams the no-nonsense principal. He accidentally insults his least favorite teacher, the horrifying Mrs. Godfrey (aka Godzilla). And school has barely started!

Trouble always seems to find him, but Nate keeps his cool. He knows he’s destined for greatness. A fortune cookie told him so.

Here comes BIG NATE, accidental mischief maker and definitely NOT the teacher’s pet.

"I think you would really like the series of Big Nate, because its halarious and about the epic life of the main character Nate Wright, and being with his best friends Teddy, and Francis. Nate goes to the school called P.S.38 being with Nates worst teacher Ms.Godfery. Nates hobby is drawing, playing soccer and other awsome activities."

— William (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Fred Berman meets the challenge of bringing such a varied and well-known cast to life. He is an effervescent Nate—excitable, eager, always optimistic—and he tailors his intonation and pace to each of the other characters as well.” 

    — AudioFile
  • “The book’s appeal lies in Nate’s wickedly astute observations…Though Nate may not achieve the fame he seeks with his classmates, this sharp-witted and unflappable protagonist just might find it with readers.”

    " I thought this book was really funny. I laughed a lot while I was reading it and enjoyed it. However, I felt like it was a little like Diary of a Wimpy Kid in that there was not much of a plot throughout the book. I don't know if I'll read the rest of the series but I recommend this book to you! "
