Big Nate: What's a Little Noogie Between Friends? by Lincoln Peirce: Paperback; 176 pages, English

Big Nate: A Class by Himself – Hilarious Middle School Mayhem!

Meet Big Nate Wright, the sixth-grader who never stops dreaming big—even if he holds the school record for detentions! In his world, he’s a total superstar: champion athlete, creative genius, and all-around legend (at least in his own mind). But sometimes, life at P.S. 38 doesn’t quite go as planned.

From losing a soccer match to a team that hasn’t won in sixty games, to an awkward Friday-night movie with Gina, to his crush suddenly moving 3,000 miles away—Nate’s confidence gets tested again and again. Luckily, his loyal pals Teddy, Francis, and Chad are always around to keep things interesting (and hilarious).

Packed with laugh-out-loud humor, clever comics, and relatable school adventures, Big Nate: A Class by Himself captures the ups and downs of middle school perfectly. Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dog Man, this book proves that even when life knocks you down, a good joke—and a great group of friends—can lift you right back up!
