Big Nate Out Loud cover

This collection follows the adventures of Nate Wright in Big Nate Out Loud, blending humor and mischief in the life of a sixth grader.

In Big Nate Out Loud, readers are reintroduced to the quirky world of Nate Wright, an eleven-year-old middle schooler with big dreams and an even bigger personality. Created by cartoonist Lincoln Peirce, Nate stands at four-and-a-half feet tall but carries the weight of a self-proclaimed genius on his shoulders. This collection brings together Nate's hilarious comic strips, originally featured in newspapers and online, showcasing his adventures and misadventures in the chaotic realm of sixth grade.

For those not yet acquainted with Nate, think of him as a blend of the iconic characters from 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' and 'Calvin and Hobbes.' Armed only with a #2 pencil and an unwavering belief in his destined greatness—thanks to a fortune cookie—Nate navigates the trials of middle school. He faces a barrage of challenges, from strict teachers to questionable cafeteria food, all while trying to maintain his unique sense of individuality.

Big Nate Out Loud captures the essence of Nate's rebellious spirit, making him both an endearing and abrasive character among his peers and teachers. With each page, readers will find themselves laughing at Nate's antics, as he earns straight A's in humor and a multitude of detentions. This book is a delightful journey through the ups and downs of growing up, perfect for fans of relatable and humorous storytelling.
