Big Nate and Friends: Volume 3

Lincoln Peirce

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES!

Join Big Nate in this third volume of the popular series as he confronts the pressures and concerns of sixth grade with his classic hilarity.

Sixth-grader Nate Wright is on top of the world . . . with a little help from his friends! His best buddies, Francis and Teddy, stick with Nate through thick and thin (usually thin) and have seen it all: Nate's disastrous love life, his chess tournament trash talking, even his misguided attempt to be a "bad boy."

Along the way, Nate and his pals are joined by Artur, the gentle exchange student who's popular with almost everyone. And don't forget Gina, the teacher's pet who gets an "A" . . . for annoying. They're all here in this collection of full-color comic strips, featuring the latest in Nate's most hilarious adventures.

A laugh-out-loud series perfect for both avid and reluctant readers ages 8-12!

"Big Nate is super funny. I love these books." (Appeal-Democrat)
"This Big Nate adventure...brings to life Nate's funny mis-adventures using a black and white cartoon format that will especially lure non-readers.
