Table of ContentsReviewsMax is epic fun! -Jeff Kinney, New York Times bestselling author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series Fantastic! I loved it! -Dav Pilkey, New York Times bestselling author of the Captain Underpants series Author Information"Lincoln Peirce is a New York Times bestselling author and cartoonist. His comic strip Big Nate, featuring the adventures of an irrepressible sixth grader, appears in over 400 newspapers worldwide and online at gocomics.com/bignate. In 2010, he began a series of illustrated novels based on the strip, introducing Nate and his cast of classmates and teachers to a new generation of young readers. In the past seven years, sixteen million Big Nate books have been sold. Max and the Midknights, Lincoln's first novel for Crown Books for Young Readers, originated as a proposed TV series set in the Middle Ages. Returning to the idea years later, Lincoln rewrote the story around Max, a ten-year-old apprentice troubadour who dreams of becoming a knight. The result is a high-spirited medieval adventure, supported by hundreds of dynamic illustrations employing the language of comics. Of the lively visual format that has become his trademark, Lincoln says, ""I try to write the sort of books I would have loved reading when I was a kid."" When he is not writing or drawing, Lincoln enjoys playing ice hockey, doing crossword puzzles, and hosting a weekly radio show devoted to vintage country music. He and his wife, Jessica, have two children and live in Portland, Maine." Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
