Big Nate : I smell a pop quiz!

Nate Wright has a nose (and a penchant) for trouble. So he's not one to be surprised by a pop quiz popping up. Aspiring cartoonist Nate Wright is the star of Big Nate , the daily and Sunday comic strip and a favorite middle-grade book character. Nate is 11 years old, four-and-a-half feet tall, and the all-time record holder for detentions in school history. He's a self-described genius and sixth grade Renaissance Man. Nate, who lives with his dad and older sister, enjoys pestering his family and teachers with his sarcasm. How would you like to be 11 years old, four and a half feet tall, and the all time record holder for detentions in school history? That distinction belongs to Nate Wright, the self described genius, sixth-grade Renaissance Man and star of his own comic strip, Big Nate. Equipped with only a No. 2 pencil and the unshakable belief that he is No. 1, Nate fights a daily battle against overzealous teachers, undercooked cafeteria food and all around conventionality. He's the original rebel without a clue, alternately abrasive and endearing to classmates and teachers alike. Nate blazes an unforgettable trail through the sixth grade at P.S. 38, earning straight A's in laughs along the way.
