Description
Two heads are better than one, except when they're crashing into each other! But that won't prevent Big Nate and his pals from hatching great ideas for fun.Nate Wright is a wisecracking 11-year-old who knows he's destined for greatness. The star of Big Nate, the daily and Sunday comic strip that made its debut in 1991, Nate's a sixth-grade chess prodigy, a self-described genius, and the all-time record holder for detentions in school history. He's often in hot water with his teachers and classmates, but Nate's winning personality and can-do attitude always make him a big hit with readers.

Fans of funny middle school antics and cartoony illustrations will likely enjoy both Newell (Middle School Misadventures) and Nate's silly series. Newell is a little more likeable, while Nate errs on the mischievous side. -- Stephen Ashley
Like Wallace the Brave, Big Nate is a humorous comic series with cartoony illustrations that follows a young boy and his friends on everyday journeys. Big Nate is largely focused on school, while much of Wallace the Brave occurs outdoors. -- Basia Wilson
Middle school gets a whole lot funnier when filtered through the perspectives of aspiring comedian Jake the Fake and the endlessly mischievous Big Nate in these series. Jake the Fake is peppered with illustrations; Big Nate books are graphic novels. -- Basia Wilson
Readers looking for a funny graphic novel with cartoony illustrations starring tween boys who find plenty of mischievous misadventure should check out both of these silly series. -- Stephen Ashley
Although the title characters of these series are from vastly different places -- Big Nate lives in Maine; Akissi, West Africa -- these troublemakers share a rebellious spirit that adds plenty of humor to both graphic novel series. -- Basia Wilson
Though Petwizards has some supernatural elements not found in Big Nate, both of these funny, cartoonishly illustrated graphic novel series follow likable tweens who get up to plenty of hijinks around their schools. -- Stephen Ashley
Though Planet Omar touches on more serious topics than Big Nate, readers will find plenty of humor and hijinks in both series as their tween heroes try to find where they fit in at their schools. -- Stephen Ashley
Readers seeking a funny series will find a reliable source of laughter in these books featuring mischievous trouble champion Big Nate and spirited jokester Airi Sano. Unlike Big Nate, Airi Sano isn't told in comics but does have some illustrations. -- Basia Wilson

Booklist Review
Nate is back, in his twelfth collection of comic strips. He's discovered Sudoku puzzles, he's arguing with his dad about the appropriateness of the comic book Femme Fatality, and he's still trying to win Jenny away from Artur. Older elementary- and younger middle-school readers are the perfect audience for this series. They'll love Nate's snappy comebacks and root for him, even when he is clueless. Peirce's art is cheerful but not too childlike, and he has created a nice stable of familiar characters. Pair the comic-strip collections with the Big Nate novels for guaranteed reading fun.--Wildsmith, Snow Copyright 2014 Booklist
