Book #16 in the Big Nate Comic Collection series
Nate's dreams clash with reality as detentions, losses, and heartbreak loom.
Nate Wright, a detention-prone sixth grader, dreams big despite constant setbacks. His soccer team loses to a perennial loser, and his movie night turns awkward with Gina. Worse, his crush Jenny is moving away. Can Nate's friends lift his spirits, or will his dreams crumble under reality's weight? Discover how Nate navigates these challenges with humor and resilience.
Big Nate is in a class by himself. This feisty 11-year-old holds the school record for detentions, but that doesn’t stop him from dreaming big! It’s not easy being Nate Wright. No one recognizes his innate genius superiority and, in fact, he is foiled at every turn by the onerous Mrs. Godfrey. And if that weren’t bad enough, his star soccer team loses to a team that had lost sixty games in a row. Adding insult to injury is when he gets up the courage to go to the movies alone while his friends all have dates, and the only seat left is next to the dreaded Gina! Can it get any worse? Oh, no, his long-time crush Jenny is moving to Seattle!
