Series: Big Nate
Description: This collection by a "New York Times"-bestselling author stars 11-year-old aspiring cartoonist Nate Wright, a self-described genius and sixth-grade Renaissance Man. Equipped with only a #2 pencil and the unshakable belief that he is #1, Nate fights a daily battle against overzealous teachers, undercooked cafeteria food, and all-around conventionality. Includes a pull-out poster. Illustrations. Consumable.

As a kid, he began creating his own strips in the sixth grade. Peirce taught high school in New York City and has created several animated pilots for Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. He lives in Portland, Maine, with his family.
