About This Book
A parent might reach for this book for a child who needs a laugh and a relatable look at the chaos of middle school. Big Nate: Code Red! is perfect for kids navigating the social minefield of sixth grade, from annoying teachers and school crushes to friendships and wild schemes. This graphic novel uses humor to normalize the big, often frustrating, feelings of being a pre-teen. It's less about teaching a lesson and more about providing pure entertainment and validating the experience of a kid who feels like the world (and especially school) is against them.
