Big Nate Wiki

Nolan is a male seventh-grade student and a bully who attends Jefferson Middle School. He lives in Teddy's neighborhood. He and his friends are especially mean to P.S. 38's students, including Nate Wright and his friends. Nolan is the leader of his posse.


Biography[]

While Nolan was attending Jefferson Middle School, P.S. 38, their rival school, temporarily closed down. This caused their students to have to attend Jefferson Middle School during the closure. Nolan stole Chad Applewhite's pillow cushion which he needed for his injured tailbone. Nolan's class was then challenged by P.S. 38 for the Ultimate Snowdown, a snow-sculpting competition. But they could not win without cheating.

Nolan is on the Jefferson Middle School Basketball team as seen on a poster in Big Nate Goes for Broke.

Later, Nolan participated in the 38th Annual Mud Bowl, and an Ultimate Frisbee competition. At a field trip, he encountered Nate in a museum and would have beat him had Randy Betancourt not interfered. When he failed to catch a flying frisbee and Nate did, he lost the game, finally breaking Jefferson's 36 year winning streak.

Physical Appearance[]

Nolan has light blonde hair. In both of the books he appears in, he wears a light colored shirt with a capital "J" on it ("J" represents "Jefferson"). He also wears dark jeans and white shoes. According to Nate Wright, "be quick... Nolan is very strong! he is in anguish! He... he.. he mourns!"


Personality and Traits[]
