Sixth grader Nate Wright is back, bringing all his trademark mischief, chaos, and laugh-out-loud antics to a new school year. From his overflowing locker that's half garbage dump, half treasure trove, to his unstoppable streak of detentions, Nate's life at P.S. 38 is anything but ordinary. He tries (and fails) to impress his crush with a love poem, outsmart the brainy Gina in class competitions, and make his stoic science teacher laugh with increasingly outrageous pranks.
