Big Nate: In Your Face!

by Lincoln Peirce

Overview

Like a sudden soccer ball to the gut, this thrilling installment in the enormously popular Big Nate series will take your breath away!

When you're a sixth-grade dynamo like Nate Wright, life comes at you fast. Whether it's a soccer ball to the head or another teacher tirade, surprises lurk around every corner. In this Big Nate collection, Nate's friends issue the ultimate insult: they point out all the ways he resembles his arch-nemesis, Gina. Nate also scores a new job as an intern at Klassic Komix, and his master plan to carpet-bomb the school with Valentine's Day cards goes seriously sideways. And when Nate gets dragged into a cringe-worthy party for the dreaded Mrs. Godfrey, what could possibly go wrong?

With laughs, adventures, and jokes galore, In Your Face! will make your head spin.

Editorial Reviews

Gr 3–6—Everyone's favorite middle school underachiever is back. Nate and his friends tackle classic middle school situations such as class pet duty, a relationship breakup, Secret Santa gifts, and a surprise birthday party for a teacher. Though this is the 24th entry in the series, new readers will easily pick up on character dynamics as they navigate the dialogue-focused, primarily four-panel comic strips. A broad supporting cast of friends, family, and teachers interject reason and logic throughout, balancing out Nate's thoughtless but humorous antics. Most characters, including Nate, are white, though there are characters of color, including Nate's friend Teddy, who is Black. VERDICT Purchase where "Big Nate" is popular and where fun, middle grade comic collections are needed.
