Big Nate: A Good Old-Fashioned Wedgie #[nn]

Lincoln Peirce's Big Nate series delivers another dose of middle-school mayhem with this 2017 Andrews McMeel collection. The cover says it all: Nate, grinning with unmistakable glee, hauls back on the waistband of a wide-eyed, thoroughly alarmed redheaded kid whose sneakers are practically leaving the ground. It's the kind of gleefully lowbrow slapstick that has made this New York Times best-selling series a perennial favorite — and the badge noting its Nickelodeon animated series only adds to the fun.
