Big Nate: From the Top Volume 1 by Peirce, Lincoln

Big Nate is in a class by himself. This spunky 11-year-old holds the school record in detentions, but that doesn't stop him from dreaming big!

Big Nate is taking it from the top--the top of the troublemaker's list!

Nate Wright is eleven years old, four-and-a-half feet tall, and the all-time record holder for school detentions in school history. He's a self-described genius and sixth-grade Renaissance man. Kids everywhere can relate to Big Nate's daily battle against overzealous teachers, backbreaking homework, wimpy cafeteria food, and all-around conventionality. The volume that started it all, this collection features cartoonist Lincoln Peirce's signature comics packed with vintage flair and timeless school humor.
