“Big Nate is funny, big time.”—Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid

The fifth Big Nate novel in the New York Times bestselling series by Lincoln Peirce, all about king of detention and cartooning genius Nate Wright!

Everyone knows N-A-T-E does not equal N-E-A-T!

And when Nate’s sloppiness gets out of hand, his best friend, Francis, is in serious trouble.

Can Nate clean up his act, or will he flip out first?

For fans of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series: Meet Big Nate, world-class boredom buster and definitely NOT the teacher’s pet.

  • School Project Chaos: As co-editors of the school yearbook, Nate and Francis have to stop their rival Gina from taking over. But first, they have to stop fighting with each other.
