Big Nate: No Worries!: Two Books in One

by Lincoln Peirce

This exciting volume of Big Nate adventures includes all of the comics from Revenge of the Cream Puffs and What's a Little Noogie Between Friends?

Two books in one! This bind-up features two books from the bestselling Big Nate series.

Big Revenge of the Cream Here come the Cream Puffs! Nate and his baseball team, saddled with the most embarrassing moniker in Little League history, want to show the world they’re not just a bunch of cupcakes. But it won’t be easy. Their opponents mock them. The local sports section misprints Nate’s name—THREE TIMES. And now, on the day of the big game, illness and injuries have the team facing a crushing defeat . . . unless the unlikeliest Cream Puff of all can come in from the bullpen and save the day.  

With a softhearted pitcher who channels his inner panda, a vengeful girlfriend who swings for the fences, and a healthy dose of Nate Wright mojo, the Cream Puffs just might have what it takes to stage an epic comeback. So grab a glove, smear on some eyeblack, and get in the game. You don’t want to miss a single moment of  Revenge of the Cream Puffs !

Big What's a Little Noogie Between Friends?  Nate Wright’s a winner—in his own mind, anyway. So when things go wrong, he’s at a loss to explain why. How does his soccer team manage to lose to a school with a sixty-game winless streak? What’s he doing at the movies on a Friday night . . . with GINA? And why, oh why is one of his classmates ( she’s Nate’s dream girl) suddenly moving 3,000 miles away? It’s all enough to make a sixth-grade superstar feel . . . well, not so super.
 
But you can’t keep a good man down, and Nate’s still got pals like Teddy, Francis, and Chad to cheer him up. Sure, their methods aren’t always warm and fuzzy, but Nate doesn’t mind. After all, what’s a little noogie between friends?

Fun story about 6th grader Nate who makes life interesting for his best friends Francis and Teddy. They play baseball and table football. Nate spends a lot of time in detention. Francis always has his nose in a book. Nate feels left out when Freddy and Francis both get girlfriends. Then the unthinkable happens....his major crush has awful news that Nate doesn't know how to deal with. Nate is just trying to find his way as a preteen age boy and taking us along for the ride. Humorous and touching. Great illustrations and colors.

Have read both volumes previously. I wasn't aware this was just compiling both and not new scripts, but Big Nate's still fun.

Revenge of the Cream Puffs - 5 stars
What's a Little Noogie Between Friends? - 3 stars

I liked when Jenny actually did something nice to Nate by not calling him a total pain.
