Big Nate: Beware of Low-Flying Corn Muffins #[nn]

Lincoln Peirce's *Big Nate: Beware of Low-Flying Corn Muffins* sets the tone perfectly on its cover: a grinning, spiky-haired Nate sits at a school cafeteria table, corn muffin in hand, flanked by two classmates — one looking amused, one decidedly less impressed — as crumbs fly with infectious energy. The title alone promises the kind of cheerful middle-school mayhem that has made this series a favorite for young readers. Now also an animated series on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon, this 2022 volume from Andrews McMeel is a bright, welcoming entry point into Nate's wonderfully chaotic world.
