Riassunto

MEET BIG NATE:
How'd you like to be 11 years old, 4 1/2 feet tall, and the all-time record holder for detentions in school history? (118 and counting...!) He's Nate Wright, 6th grade Renaissance Man, prone to accidental antics. Equipped with only a #2 pencil and the unshakable belief that he's #1, Big Nate fights a daily battle against overzealous teachers, undercooked cafeteria food and all-around conventionality.
Nate Wright knows he's meant for big things. REALLY big things. After all, he's a self-described genius. Trouble always seems to find him, but Nate keeps his cool no matter what. He knows he's destined for greatness. A fortune cookie told him so.
DAZZLING AND FUNNY ART THROUGHOUT:

-With 2 or 3 pieces of spot art per page, there will be roughly 500 black and white illustrations throughout the book.

-Art will include comic strip scenes, doodles, stand alone characters, scribbles on notebook paper, thought bubbles, Nate's own comic strip drawings, and other fun illustrations like lists of teacher nicknames, detention reports, parental facts/sister facts, glossaries, top 10 most annoying lists, and more!

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)
