Nate |
 |
 |
|
 |
|
|
Why does he call himself BIG Nate? Because he thinks big. He talks big. He acts big. Nate Wright, age eleven, is destined for greatness… in his own mind, anyway. But before he achieves fame, fortune, and all the “cheez doodles” he can eat, he’s got to make it through sixth grade – one detention at a time. |

Dad |
|  |
|
|
|
|
|
Remember that day you realized your Dad was actually a pretty cool guy? Remember when you finally woke up to the fact that he wasn’t the clueless and embarrassing dorkosaur you always thought he was? Well, Nate hasn’t reached that point yet. |

Ellen |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nate and Ellen. Eleven year-old brother and fifteen year-old sister. Pesky sixth grader and self-absorbed teen queen. Oil and water. That’s pretty much everything you have to know. |
|
Francis |
|  |
|
|
|
|
|
Francis is an honor roll student, a neat freak, and a cat lover. In other words, he’s everything Nate’s not. So how’d these two end up as best friends? Good question. Francis will get back to you once he’s figured out the answer. |

 |
|
Teddy |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Teddy’s not a model student like Francis (who is?), but he’s more likely to get good grades than Nate (who isn’t?). Teddy is the ideal middleman, nicely complementing Nate and Francis and rounding out their posse. Can three kids be called a posse?
|
|
Jenny |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nate’s been madly in love with Jenny since kindergarten, and pursues her with the passion of a modern-day Romeo. Sounds like the start of a beautiful romance, but there’s just one tiny problem: Jenny can’t stand Nate..

|
Artur |
|
|
|
|
|
|
He’s a gentle and guileless exchange student whose easygoing nature charms students and teachers alike. Everybody likes Artur…except Nate, who’s envious of the fact that Artur does almost everything better than Nate does.
|
|
Gina |
|  |
|
|
|
|
|
Every class needs a know-it-all, and that’s a role Gina was born to play. She’s never received less than a perfect score on any test or quiz, and she’s the definition of an insufferable teacher’s pet. When it comes to annoying Nate, Gina always gets straight A’s.

Chester |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A hulking bully with a hair-trigger temper, the dim-witted Chester responds to most situations by trying to hit something. Or someone. That’s bad news for Nate, who for some reason is usually within reach. Then again, when you measure seven feet from fingertip to fingertip, LOTS of things are within reach.
|
|
Mrs. Godfrey |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
David had Goliath. Popeye had Bluto. And Nate has Mrs. Godfrey, his Social Studies teacher and arch-enemy. “Hate” is too strong a word to describe Nate’s feelings about her, but… Actually, no it’s not too strong. It’s just right.

|
Coach |
|
|
|
|
|
|
He’s the man in charge of Nate’s soccer, basketball, and baseball teams, and he’s got all the attributes a good coach should have: Dedication. Leadership. Toughness. And patience. Lots and lots of patience.
|
|
Spitsy |
|  |
|
|
|
|
|
Nate’s always wanted a dog. Instead, he has to settle for pet-sitting Spitsy, the dysfunctional canine next door. Spitsy’s hyperactive, smells bad, and is still baffled by the concept of housetraining. It’s enough to turn Nate into a cat person.
