Looks like a [b:Diary of a Wimpy Kid|389627|Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, #1)|Jeff Kinney|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255573105s/389627.jpg|2617009] clone, but is actually based on a long-running newspaper comic, so we can't accuse the author of copycatting. 11-year-old Big Nate is actually Greg Heffley's opposite in one key way: he's bursting with confidence and positivity. This is a day-in-the-life story filled with his wacky antics.
