Big Nate's Box of Awesome: Volume 13-16

Author: Lincoln Peirce Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing Genre: Adventure

Over 700 pages of full-color Big Nate comic strips, all in one place! Nate Wright's life is a whirlwind filled with pop quizzes, pranks, soccer shootouts, and Cheez Doodles. When teachers, rivals, and unrequited crushes get him down, his friends Teddy, Francis, and Chad help keep him going. No matter what the odds, Big Nate always finds a way to cope, even if it means drumming an empty soda bottle against his head. Brace yourself for Big Nate's Box of Awesome, which features four full-color Big Nate books: Big Nate: Welcome to My World (Volume 13): Nate Wright’s life is just like his locker—full of surprises. The monstrous Mrs. Godfrey springs a pop quiz on Nate AND his grandparents. His horoscope predicts bad news for Nate’s soccer career. And worst of all, he’s forced to cut back on his beloved Cheez Doodles. It’s enough to drive any kid crazy. Luckily, Nate’s not just any kid. He’s the ultimate sixth-grade survivor. When everything’s falling apart, he finds a way to hold it together … but nobody said it would be easy. Big Nate: Thunka, Thunka, Thunka (Volume 14): Sixth grade can be a tension convention for Nate Wright. His baseball team’s just been given the lamest name in Little League history; he’s on the verge of becoming know-it-all Gina’s personal servant for a day; and Spitsy, the closest thing he has to a dog of his own, is in love with a CAT. Yup, Nate’s up to his ears in stress. Luckily, the perfect remedy is close at hand: an empty plastic soda bottle. All Nate has to do is drum it gently against his head— thunka, thunka, thunka —and the pressures of dealing with Coach John, Mrs. Godfrey, and the terrifying Kim Cressly begin to fade away. Who knew an empty bottle could be so therapeutic? Big Nate: Revenge of the Cream Puffs (Volume 15): Here come the Cream Puffs! Nate and his baseball team, saddled with the most embarrassing moniker in Little League history, want to show the world they’re not just a bunch of cupcakes. But it won’t be easy. Their opponents mock them. The local sports section misprints Nate’s name—THREE TIMES. And now, on the day of the big game, illness and injuries have the team facing a crushing defeat . . . unless the unlikeliest Cream Puff of all can come in from the bullpen and save the day. With a softhearted pitcher who channels his inner panda, a vengeful girlfriend who swings for the fences, and a healthy dose of Nate Wright mojo, the Cream Puffs just might have what it takes to stage an epic comeback. Big Nate: What's a Little Noogie Between Friends? (Volume 16): Nate Wright’s a winner—in his own mind, anyway. So when things go wrong, he’s at a loss to explain why. How does his soccer team manage to lose to a school with a sixty-game winless streak? What’s he doing at the movies on a Friday night . . . with GINA? And why, oh why is one of his classmates (hint: she’s Nate’s dream girl) suddenly moving three thousand miles away? It’s all enough to make a sixth-grade superstar feel . . . well, not so super. But you can’t keep a good man down, and Nate’s still got pals like Teddy, Francis, and Chad to cheer him up. Sure, their methods aren’t always warm and fuzzy, but Nate doesn’t mind. After all, what’s a little noogie between friends? For kids ages 8–10, Big Nate fans, and anyone who loves funny graphic novels packed with school chaos and nonstop laughs, Big Nate’s Box of Awesome is an easy win. Dive into 700+ pages of comics and see how Nate manages to survive (and somehow make it worse) every single time. Read more
