Big Nate: In a Class by Himself

This book is hilarious. It is comparable in style and theme to Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The pages are half comic, half first person narrative. I dare say, however, that I liked Big Nate better. I love this synopsis from: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7150178-big-nate (Retrieved on August 20th, 2011): 

Nate knows he's meant for big things. REALLY big things.
But life doesn't always go your way just because you're awesome.
Trouble always seems to find him, but Nate keeps his cool no matter what.
He knows he's great. A fortune cookie told him so.
 
For fans of the hilarious Diary of a Wimpy Kid series: Here comes BIG NATE, accidental mischief maker and definitely NOT the teacher's pet.
