Big Nate: The Gerbil Ate My Homework – A Hilarious New School Year Adventure

Middle school is back in session, and so is Big Nate! In Big Nate: The Gerbil Ate My Homework, the New York Times best-selling series continues its streak of laugh-out-loud mischief and middle-school madness.

Nate Wright, P.S. 38’s most lovable troublemaker, has found his perfect study buddy—Sherman, the class gerbil. But when homework disappears, chaos follows! Can Nate’s furry friend save him from Mrs. Godfrey’s wrath, or will there be a paper trail leading straight to detention?

Between inventing superhero movies (Mega-Chad, anyone?), brainstorming new nicknames for Francis, and cementing his status as the ultimate Prank Day legend, Nate’s got a full plate of fun, failure, and friendship.

Packed with full-color comics, witty dialogue, and unforgettable classroom adventures, Big Nate: The Gerbil Ate My Homework is perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dog Man, and Calvin and Hobbes.

Find out if Nate makes it to summer vacation—because at P.S. 38, anything can happen!
