No Harm Done!
Sixth grade renaissance man Nate Wright is bombastic, enthusiastic, and larger than life—it’s why his friends call him “Big Nate.” But behind the bravado, Nate is a faithful friend whose antics crack up his classmates, impart life lessons to readers, and bring a smile to comics fans everywhere.
It’s back-to-school time for sixth-grader Nate Wright, and this just might be the best year ever! Rumors are flying that the villainous Mrs. Godfrey is now teaching EIGHTH grade. Chad is on the verge of destroying Gina in the race for class president. And could Nate finally realize his dream of changing the school mascot to . . . a sea cucumber? Hey, why not? He’s a can-do kind of guy. So when the
Weekly Bugle needs a story, Nate’s happy to make headlines—by (allegedly) starting an epic food fight in the cafetorium! In this latest collection of gut-busting Big Nate comics, Nate’s always stirring things up, but at the end of every day, P.S. 38 is still standing. In other words: NO HARM DONE!
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-three books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
