This dynamic graphic novel based on the new Big Nate animated series includes stories from three different episodes, featuring visually stunning, full-color CG artwork. Starring Nate, Francis, Dee Dee, Teddy, and friends, these hilarious escapades will thrill longtime Big Nate fans as well as new readers. It's Big Nate like you've never seen him before!
Sixth-grader Nate Wright believes he is AWESOME. At least that's what he'll tell you. Truth is, he has his doubts. But he's not about to let the rest of the world know that. Instead, Nate finds himself constantly trying to prove how great he is to everyone around him. But there are many bumps on the road to Awesomeness, from his annoying sister, to his academic arch-nemesis, to his pure evil social studies teacher.
Luckily, Nate is able to express himself through the world of cartoons that he creates. Cartoons are his super power. They express the way he feels and bring his overactive imagination to life. On the outside, Nate seems confident and sure of what he is doing, but his cartoons reveal who he truly is: a little uncertain, but very funny and always entertaining. Charming, mischievous, and a magnet for misadventure—trouble is always fun when Nate is around. Just ask his friends!
Big Nate: Destined for Awesomeness includes stories from three episodes of the new animated series on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon. In "The Legend of the Gunting," Nate finds himself only one detention away from disappearance, according to an ominous P.S. 38 legend. In "Go Nate, It's Your Birthday," Nate's use of his father's credit card leads to all kinds of great adventures—and an epic race to recover from disaster. And in "CATastrophe," Nate finally gets a chance to spend time with his imagined true love, Jenny, only to wind up terrified of her pet.
Featuring dazzling art from the TV series and all the charming characters of Lincoln Peirce's bestselling books, this new graphic novel series will delight both new and longtime fans of Big Nate.

Nate Wright returns in a new format. Spiky-haired sixth grader Nate Wright is back for three new adventures adapted from his recently animated show. The first, "The Legend of the Gunting," tells the legend of Brad Gunter, an infamous student who purportedly got five detentions in one week and then disappeared. When a prank-loving new student tips Nate toward a feared fifth detention, can Nate stop him before it's too late? In the second tale, "Go Nate! It's Your Birthday," Nate mischievously interprets his dad's birthday offer, maxing out his credit card and finding himself in thousands of dollars of debt. "CATastrophe," the final story, pits Nate against his crush--and his long-standing fear of cats. Unlike its predecessors, this nearly full-color offering (there are some black-and-white panels as throwbacks to Peirce's comic strips) may have some visual appeal, but for those who have seen the show, this volume is simply a collection of screenshots from the first few episodes. This long-running and well-loved series has seen many iterations, from chapter books to graphic novels, and while an animated counterpart makes sense, further adapting that medium back into print feels utterly unnecessary; even devout fans may roll their eyes at this. Nate is White; his friends portray a mix of skin tones and body sizes. Redundant. (Graphic adaptation. 7-11)COPYRIGHT(2022) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
