Big Nate: Nailed It #[nn]

Lincoln Peirce's irrepressible middle-schooler is at it again — on this sunny orange cover, Nate throws a triumphant thumbs-up while brandishing a graded paper stamped with a C+, apparently thrilled with a result that leaves the unimpressed blonde girl beside him decidedly underwhelmed. It's that gap between Nate's boundless self-confidence and everyone else's reaction that makes this series such a delight, and this 2023 volume from Andrews McMeel captures that dynamic perfectly. Fans of the Paramount+ and Nickelodeon animated series will feel right at home diving into Peirce's sharp, warmly funny comics.
