Big-head Nate Wright is eleven years old, four-and-a-half feet tall, a table tennis champion, a genius comic book artist and the self-proclaimed king of his class. Equipped with only a number 2 pencil and the unshakeable belief that he is destined for greatness (a fortune cookie told him so), he fights a daily battle against overzealous teachers (mostly Mrs Godfrey), undercooked cafeteria food, and all-around conventionality. But a lot of the time he simply falls asleep in science class and ends up in detention again…
This highly illustrated laugh-out-loud collection of 8 books is a mixture of written narrative and cartoon drawings, aimed at ages 9+. The short vignette style makes these perfect for reluctant readers, and they will appeal to fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
