This Means War!
Now a hit animated series on Nickelodeon and Paramount+, Big Nate delights middle grade readers with stories of mischief and misadventure in these full-color comics featuring sixth grader Nate Wright and friends at P.S. 38.
Big Nate is a legend at P.S. 38, where he and friends Francis, Teddy, Dee Dee, Chad, and others manage to make sixth grade interesting with all kinds of pranks, drama, sports, and good times. The all-time leader in detentions, Nate is never far from the spotlight, whether it's for a freak injury on the soccer field, Halloween costume fail, or stirring up a new episode in his long-running rivalry with grade-grubbing Gina or his teacher nemesis, Mrs. Godfrey. This new collection of Big Nate comics from Lincoln Peirce includes over 170 full-color comics and abundant laughs for the whole family.
Lincoln Peirce
For more than three decades, Lincoln Peirce has been channeling the chaos, charm, and comic timing of middle school into one unforgettable character: Nate Wright. Long before Big Nate became a beloved series for millions of young readers—and a hit animated show—Peirce was sketching his way through his own childhood in New Hampshire, dreaming up comic strips during class and imagining what it would be like to see his work in print. That day came in 1991, when Big Nate made its newspaper debut, capturing the everyday disasters of adolescence with a blend of mischief, heart, and hilarious honesty.
Big Nate
Middle school isn’t for the faint of heart—but for Nate Wright, it’s the perfect stage for epic misadventures, cringe-worthy mishaps, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. The Big Nate series captures the hilarious highs and humiliating lows of adolescence through the eyes of a kid who’s absolutely certain he’s destined for greatness… even if his teachers, classmates, and locker assignments suggest otherwise.
Big Nate consists of thirty-four books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of two more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
