Big Nate

Big Nate is a comic strip series generally revolving around an 11 year old male named Nate Wright who attends P.S. 38. He lives with his father, Martin, and older sister, Ellen. Nate has a talent for sports, comic trivia, Chess, detecting and deciphering things with his sense of smell. Coming up with nicknames, cartooning, snowball fights, and coming up with hilarious and serious pranks for School Prank Day, like putting a load of fire ants on Mr. Galvin's chair, vandalizing the bathroom with invisible ink, letting a talking parrot in Mrs. Godfrey's room, etc.

He also has a talent for sensing things with his nose and brain and even reading full sentences with just his nose. Nate insisted that he is destined for greatness and that Jenny, a girl in his school who he has a crush on, will fall in love with him one day. However, he eventually begins falling in love with Ruby Dinsmore, who is his 4th girlfriend, instead. She doesn't make any appearances in the Comics though.

Nate is best known for causing mayhem, awkward moments, and getting himself in detention over and over and over again. His locker is extremely messy and is filled with all kinds of junk. Some of his “junk” is surprisingly valuable, such as the Faberge egg that was once found in his locker.
