Big Nate: I Smell a Pop Quiz!

Nate Wright has a nose (and a penchant) for trouble.

So he's not one to be surprised by a pop quiz popping up.Aspiring cartoonist Nate Wright is the star of Big Nate, the daily and Sunday comic strip and a favorite middle-grade book character.

Nate is 11 years old, four-and-a-half feet tall, and the all-time record holder for detentions in school history.

He's a self-described genius and sixth grade Renaissance Man.

Nate, who lives with his dad and older sister, enjoys pestering his family and teachers with his sarcasm.
