This is a collection of Big Nate comics. The main storyline in the collection is about Nate and his baseball team, known by the embarrassing name of Cream Puffs. When the big game comes, they lose their star pitcher. Their hopes now lie in their most unlikely player. In addition, the book features other stories such as Nate and his friends attempting to write a romance novel, Nate doing Yo Mama jokes, and him trying to enjoy his summer away from school.

This is a light and entertaining collection with good humor and amusing moments. It is easy to read, and it will often make you smile. If you enjoy the comic from newspapers, you'll likely enjoy the book as well.

4 out of 5 stars.
