Big Nate : Game On!

---

Big Nate: Game On!, is a full-color compilation of comic strips featuring the adventures of Nate Wright, a self-proclaimed genius and the ultimate sixth-grade Renaissance Man. The collection focuses on Nate's mostly hapless and hilarious encounters in the world of sports, divided into three main sections: basketball ("Swish"), baseball ("Play Ball"), and soccer ("Goal").

Nate approaches every sport with an unwavering (if unearned) swagger and cocky attitude, often making him a greater challenge to his own teammates than to their opponents. Readers follow Nate as he attempts to trash-talk his way through basketball, deals with the stigma of a team sponsored by a beauty salon in baseball, and grapples with jealousy and competition on the soccer field. This book highlights Nate's quirky humor, his misadventures with friends Francis and Teddy, and his ongoing battle against authority figures like his long-suffering coach. The work is a popular example of children's graphic novel/comic strip collections centered on middle school humor and everyday life.
