The latest in this NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING series

Look out, Big Nate fans, it's Payback Time! In this newest Big Nate collection, everyone's favorite sixth-grade renaissance man is up to his usual schemes and misadventures — developing a strange allergy to Mrs.

Godfrey, inflating his goalkeeper statistics, and even mentoring a kid in detention. But he's not the only one creating mischief. Francis, Teddy and Chad trade blows in an ongoing snowball fight, a bully finds an unexpected surprise in his locker, and Nate's rivalry with Gina takes a Halloween twist.

Nate also courts disaster when a lunch room encounter with Randy goes horribly wrong, leading to a dreaded after-school showdown. From wedgies and food fights to unrequited crushes, Big Nate: Payback Time! has it all.
