Big Nate Goes for Broke

Those familiar with Nate Wright, sixth-grade detention king, know that neatness isn’t exactly his top priority—it’s not even on his radar! Nate’s class notes are one giant doodle, and his locker should be declared a hazardous waste zone. But when Nate’s sloppiness gets his best friend, Francis, in trouble in the fifth Big Nate novel, Big Nate Flips Out, Nate decides it’s time to clean up his act. Has Nate truly flipped out?

Nate’s world pops off the page with more than 500 black-and-white illustrations, including Nate’s own comics, fun facts about Nate's friends (and rivals), a new secret code, yearbook bloopers, and unforgettable top 10 lists. And there’s big-time buzz—Big Nate: In a Class by Himself was selected for the Horn Book Fanfare List of Best Books of 2010 and BarnesandNoble.com’s Top 10 and was an IndieBound Spring Pick and a Children's Choice Book Award finalist. Recently, Big Nate on a Roll was nominated for the Young Reader's Choice Award of the Pacific Northwest and won the Southwark Book Award in the UK. And Big Nate Goes for Broke hit #22 on the USA Today bestseller list when it debuted!

Big Nate has been licensed in twenty-five foreign deals so far, and the Big Nate: Comix by U! app has charted in the iTunes store for both the iPad and iPhone versions. The first four Big Nate novels are available as ebooks for your Apple or Color Nook device, and Big Nate Goes for Broke is also available for your Kindle Fire! In July 2012, Pressman Games will release a Big Nate board game, card game, and two jigsaw puzzles nationwide!

Nate’s hilarious high jinks just keep on coming, and they will have you rolling on the floor with laughter!
