The star of <i>Big Nate</i>, the daily and Sunday comic strip that made its debut in 1991, Nate's a sixth-grade chess prodigy, a self-described genius, and the all-time record holder for detentions in school history. He's often in hot water with his teachers and classmates, but Nate's winning personality and can-do attitude always make him a big hit with readers.<br> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "...if you're looking for a new series to introduce your kids to this upcoming holiday season, chances are they'll really like these collections."
