Jealousy and competition is always better in a group. The teamwork off of it is amazing. This is probably the best Big Nate novel- because this time, it's not just Nate who wants to kick butt, but it's the whole of P.S. 38 meeting their ultimate rival. Even worse so when P.S. 38's roof leaks and they're forced to move to Jefferson. Nate's comics gets even better with a collaboration (I absolutely ADORE Dee Dee, okay?) and the story of Achilles is made even better with pure cartooning genius and spite in the snow.
So yeah, this is probably my favourite Big Nate novel. By far.

This story starts with Nate accidentally asking DiDi (sp?) out to the Beach Dance. He's meaning to ask her if she wants to join the cartooning club, the Doodlers, but she misunderstands. It ends up being fine since she saves him when another kid steals his clothes but then PS38's sprinklers go off during the dance which means that the school is ruined and they have to go to... gulp... Jefferson.

Big Nate, book four.
Nate comes up with the idea for the coolest after school club ever--the Doodlers. Finally, there is a place where Nate can draw without getting detention! When the club advisor suggests recruiting some girls for the club, Nate balks, but eventually ends up inviting drama queen Dee Dee. This could end up being either the best, or worst, decision of his life.
When P.S. 38 is flooded, Nate and his friends are all set for an extended vacation. Sadly, instead of a vacation, they have to attend their sister school, Jefferson. The two schools are bitter rivals (Jefferson always wins--and rubs it in) and Nate is determined to bring glory to P.S. 38 by beating Jefferson at SOMETHING.
