"Big Nate is funny, big time." — Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid
"[T]he slickest of this series...On a roll indeed!" — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Nate is often compared to Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid and will appeal to the same audience, he bears more resemblance to the tricksters of folklore...the interplay between text and pictures remains fresh, as does the distinction between Peirce's cartoons and Nate's own cartoons." — The Horn Book
Praise for BIG NATE: IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF: "Nate's persistent good cheer and moxie make him a likeable new proxy for young misfits." — Booklist
Praise for BIG NATE: IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF: "Laugh-out-loud" — School Library Journal
Praise for BIG NATE: IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF: "Though Nate may not achieve the fame he seeks with his classmates, this sharp-witted and unflappable protagonist just might find it with readers." — Publishers Weekly
Praise for BIG NATE: IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF: "Fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, or of Nate himself will savor P.S. 38's most beleaguered hero. What carries the day are the zany illustrations and unflagging enthusiasm of Nate himself." — Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Praise for BIG NATE: IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF: "Thank goodness sequels are planned!" — Kirkus Reviews
Praise for BIG NATE STRIKES AGAIN: "The millions of Wimpy Kid fans will be thrilled to find another cartoon buddy to read about, this good-hearted king of detention." — Horn Book (starred review)
Praise for BIG NATE STRIKES AGAIN: "Fans will be in heaven; thank goodness number three is already on the way." — Kirkus Reviews

Gr 3-6-Big Nate is used to being the shining star of his scout troop, but now Artur-Mr. Perfect-is stealing his spotlight. Not only that, but it is Artur's fault that Nate has detention, and it is his fault that a certain obnoxious girl thinks Nate has a crush on her. The sixth grader is fed up and determined to show that he is better than Mr. Perfect by outselling Artur for the troop's fund-raiser. At stake is more than Nate's reputation-the winner also receives a new skateboard. This series is a great answer for kids looking for "Wimpy Kid" read-alikes, and Nate delivers the comic relief and action appealing to reluctant readers. The comic-strip illustrations throughout add to the fun. This book delivers what fans have come to expect.-Elizabeth Swistock, Jefferson Madison Regional Library, Charlottesville, VA

Starred review from July 15, 2011
Sixth grader Nate Wright needs a new skateboard...but more than that he needs to beat perfect Artur at SOMETHING.
Artur has a nifty foreign accent. Artur has Jenny, the girl Nate likes. Artur charms adults and kids alike, and Nate can't stand it. What makes it double awful is that Artur is such a nice guy. Infuriating. But Artur IS to blame for Nate's losing his skateboard...indirectly. Artur dripped paint in Nate's eye, causing Nate to knock over the ladder Artur was on. Nate got detention (Artur didn't), and Nate had to hurry on his skateboard to get to Timber Scouts. In the hurry, Nate was clothes-lined by a lady and her poodle, and his board sailed into the river. There is a chance he can win a new board by selling (dorky) wall hangings door to door for Scouts. He just has to beat the new kid in the troop...Artur! Peirce's third Big Nate chapter book, starring Big Nate (from the comic strip of the same name), is the slickest of this series of hybrid comics-and-text chapter books. Nate's an artistic, realistic, funny narrator. On a roll indeed!
Plenty of Nate's homemade comix and panels from his life pepper the story; fans will cheer at the announcement of the fourth volume at the end. (Graphic/fiction hybrid. 7-11)(COPYRIGHT (2011) KIRKUS REVIEWS/NIELSEN BUSINESS MEDIA, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.)
