In the past ten years, over twenty million Big Nate books have been sold, and Nickelodeon has created an animated series based on the character. Max and the Midknights and Battle of the Bodkins, Lincoln's instant New York Times bestselling novels for Crown Books for Young Readers, originated as a spoof of sword and sorcery tales.
