Big Nate is bigger than ever in this super-cool bind-up of the first two books in the New York Times bestselling Big Nate series.

In Big Nate: In a Class by Himself, Nate knows he’s destined for great things. But things don’t always go your way just because you’re awesome. When his whole life seems to be going wrong, can Nate prove that he’s really destined for greatness?

In Big Nate Strikes Again, Nate is stuck with Gina, his all-time enemy, in a class project AND on his fleeceball team right when Nate is set to win his first championship. Even though Gina’s sure to ruin everything, can Nate figure out how to win the game?

For fans of the hilarious Diary of a Wimpy Kid series: Get ready to meet Big Nate, unofficial king of detention and definitely not the teacher’s pet.

Lincoln PeirceAuthor

Lincoln Peirce (pronounced "purse") is a cartoonist/writer and New York Times bestselling author of the hilarious Big Nate book series (www.bignatebooks.com), now published in twenty-five countries worldwide and available as ebooks and audiobooks and as an app, Big Nate: Comix by U! He is also the creator of the comic strip Big Nate. It appears in over three hundred U.S. newspapers and online daily at www.gocomics.com/bignate. Lincoln's boyhood idol was Charles Schulz of Peanuts fame, but his main inspiration for Big Nate has always been his own experience as a sixth grader. Just like Nate, Lincoln loves comics, ice hockey, and Cheez Doodles (and dislikes cats, figure skating, and egg salad). His Big Nate books have been featured on Good Morning America and in the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and the Washington Post. He has also written for Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. Lincoln lives with his wife and two children in Portland, Maine.

What reviewers said

Praise for BIG NATE STRIKES AGAIN: “Even the most jaded middle-schooler will find much to laugh about here.”
The Horn Book
Praise for BIG NATE ON A ROLL: “[T]he slickest of this series...On a roll indeed!”
Kirkus Reviews
Praise for BIG NATE ON A ROLL: “Nate is often compared to Jeff Kinney’s Wimpy Kid and will appeal to the same audience, he bears more resemblance to the tricksters of folklore...the interplay between text and pictures remains fresh, as does the distinction between Peirce’s cartoons and Nate’s own cartoons.”
The Horn Book
Praise for BIG NATE: IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF: “Thank goodness sequels are planned!”
Kirkus Reviews
Praise for BIG NATE: IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF: “Nate’s persistent good cheer and moxie make him a likeable new proxy for young misfits.”
Booklist
Praise for BIG NATE: IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF: “What carries the day are the zany illustrations and unflagging enthusiasm of Nate himself.”
