About The Book

Nate Wright’s back with more chaos, laughs, and middle-school mischief in Big Nate Makes the Grade! From overflowing lockers and detention records to love poems gone wrong and science-class pranks, this full-color comics collection is unmissable.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES!

Sixth grader Nate Wright is back, bringing all his trademark mischief, chaos, and laugh-out-loud antics to a new school year. From his overflowing locker that’s half garbage dump, half treasure trove, to his unstoppable streak of detentions, Nate’s life at P.S. 38 is anything but ordinary. He tries (and fails) to impress his crush with a love poem, outsmart the brainy Gina in class competitions, and make his stoic science teacher laugh with increasingly outrageous pranks.

Big Nate Makes the Grade combines energetic comic-strip storytelling with relatable humor and expressive artwork to create an addictive reading experience for kids. The approachable, full-color format and quick pacing make this collection a strong choice for reluctant readers and fans of illustrated books.

Fast-paced illustrated storytelling that keeps kids reading
Relatable themes of friendship, competition, and growing up
Great for reluctant readers ages 8–10
Ideal for fans of graphic novels, comics, and humorous chapter books

Follow Nate through another unforgettable round of middle school comedy and comic-strip fun.
