But things don’t always go your way just because you’re awesome. Nate barely survives his dad’s toxic oatmeal before rushing off to school—minus his lunch. He body slams the no-nonsense principal. He accidentally insults his least favorite teacher, the horrifying Mrs. Godfrey (aka Godzilla). And school has barely started!
Nate keeps his cool. He knows he’s destined for greatness. A fortune cookie told him so. Includes a sneak peek to the second Big Nate novel, Big Nate Strikes Again.
