Supremely confident middle school student Nate Wright manages make getting detention from every one of his teachers in the same day seem like an achievement.

"Sixth-grade dynamo Nate Wright has all kinds of big plans and tricks up his sleeve, including writing a new hit children's book, trying to convince his dad to get him a new dog for Christmas, and helping his friend Chad score a new nickname at P.S. 38. Along the way, he encounters resistance from all the usual suspects, including Mrs. Godfrey, classmate Gina, and anyone skeptical of his plans to become an award-winning author. And as usual, things never quite turn out exactly like he planned. Join Nate and friends for another laugh-packed installment of Big Nate comic fun"--.

Leave it to Big Nate to stake his claim on anything in reach! Nate is 11 years old, four-and-a-half feet tall, and the all-time record holder for detentions in school history. He's a self-described genius and sixth grade Renaissance Man. Nate, who lives with his dad and older sister, enjoys pestering his family and teachers with his sarcasm.

"For Nate Wright, conflict is a way of life. He tangles with Gina, the editor of the school newspaper, after she rejects his comic strip. He can't get on the same page with his snooty study partners as they cram for the final exam. And once he hears that Mr. Rosa's job is on the line, Nate even takes on the all-powerful school board. But when a challenger threatens Nate's status as the owner of P.S. 38's filthiest locker, our hero may have met his match. Can he win the slob-off and bury Kyle under the ash heap of history? In this brand-new collection of comics, Nate is definitely NOT messing around"--Provided by publisher.

"Middle school can be a hot mess--especially for sixth-grader Nate Wright. Whether he's bluffing his way through an oral report about ... umm ... some random war, peer-reviewing a classmate's story about cats, or writing a book report on a literary gem called The Cheerleader Chronicles, Nate's usually up to his eyeballs in stress. But our hero always finds ways to cope. Like bringing Spitsy to school as an emotional support dog. Or creating a graphic novel to (sort of) complete his math homework. Nate even authors a no-nonsense advice column with a title that says it all: Ask The Genius. So take a tip from P.S. 38's resident renaissance man: When problems start piling up, do what Nate does: REMAIN CALM!"--.

Features stories from three complete episodes. In ''Til Death Do We Rock,' Big Nate and his Fear The Mollusk bandmates are destined for superstardom; that is, if they can do something about the earsplitting vocals of their lead singer. Nate's always been the front man, but he might have to swallow his ego if he wants his friends to shine.
