NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES!

Whether he's taking the baseball field or surviving sixth grade, middle-school hero Nate Wright finds excitement (and trouble) wherever he goes... often with a little help from his friends.

Nate's big ideas have inspired over 30 years of widely loved and kid-approved comics, and now you can collect some of his most memorable misadventures in this deluxe box set featuring four hilarious, full-color Big Nate paperback books spanning one thousand pages:

• Big Nate: Game On! (Volume 6): Whether he's navigating soccer disasters, attempting to impress his friends in band practice, or pulling pranks that go wildly off-course, Nate proves that middle school is never boring.
• Big Nate: I Can't Take It! (Volume 7): Life can be stressful for 11-year-old Nate Wright. At school, Mrs. Godfrey makes every day a nightmare. At home, he's stuck between Ellen, his incredibly annoying older sister, and Dad, perhaps the most clueless parent of all time. And don't get him started on Gina, the ultimate teacher's pet, or Artur, the unassuming exchange student who bests him at every turn. Add late homework, Spitsy the dog, and sporting accidents, and it's enough to make even a can-do kid like Nate scream: "I CAN'T TAKE IT!"
• Big Nate: Great Minds Think Alike (Volume 8): Sixth grader Nate Wright proves that even brilliant schemes don't always go as planned! From outsmarting teachers with clever tricks to accidentally causing chaos in class projects, Nate's adventures are packed with laugh-out-loud moments. Joined by Francis and Teddy, Nate navigates friendship, teamwork, sports, music, and the tricky art of fitting in--all while leaving a trail of humorous mishaps behind him.
• Big Nate: The Crowd Goes Wild! (Volume 9): Everyone's favorite sixth-grade prankster takes a swing at entrepreneurship with a "Free Cold Water" stand, campaigns against Social Studies as Class President, and breaks out of a batting slump. While Nate's big ideas aren't always grand slams, he and his friends can turn any day into a win.

If you're looking for a funny graphic novel series for kids or reluctant readers ages 9-11, start the Big Nate box set and discover why Nate Wright's misadventures keep readers turning the pages.
