Hardcover | Juvenile Fiction / Comics & Graphic Novels Big Nate knows trouble. He is the king of detention, after all. He may not be Joe Honor Roll, but Nate knows he's meant for big things; REALLY big things. In book four, Nate is back in action. This time, daredevil Nate's quest to achieve his destiny (you know...greatness!) lands him in the hospital with a broken bone. His family and friends are eager to help him cope, but they soon tire of his increasingly ridiculous demands. Meanwhile, P.S. 38 competes with their biggest rival, Jefferson Middle School, and Nate is out to save the day. Nate's world pops off the page with more than 500 black-and-white illustrations, including Nate's own comics, doodles, unforgettable top 10 lists, and dramatic flashbacks.
