Big Nate Makes the Grade

Nate Wright, a prank-loving sixth-grader, is the star of this full-color comic-strip collection. The book follows his misadventures from the first day of school through summer vacation, as he and his friends dodge detentions, pull off ridiculous schemes, and try to beat brainiac Gina in the grade race. Everyday classroom chaos, teacher confrontations, and the ups and downs of middle-school friendships provide the humor. The panels capture the energetic, mischievous spirit of a student who turns ordinary school days into non-stop jokes.
