Whether he's dodging teachers, dealing with classmates, or plotting his next comic masterpiece, Nate turns every mishap into material for his art. The collection captures his daily adventures through more than 300 comic strips that show how this self-proclaimed genius handles the chaos of growing up. Nate's world revolves around avoiding trouble while somehow always finding it, but his passion for drawing keeps him going. The book includes bonus activities and a preview of his next adventure. Through playground politics and classroom catastrophes, Nate proves that sometimes the best way to survive middle school is to draw your way through it.
