Bookroo's summary

Nate Wright faces sixth-grade chaos with a hilariously lame baseball team name, a looming day as Gina's servant, and a dog in love with a cat. As stress mounts, Nate discovers an unusual stress-relief method: drumming an empty soda bottle against his head. With Coach John, Mrs. Godfrey, and Kim Cressly adding to his woes, can Nate find peace in his quirky remedy? Dive into Nate's world of mischief and laughter, where every day is an adventure and every problem has a unique solution. Will Nate's antics land him in more trouble, or will he find a way to beat the stress?

From the publisher

Soon to be an animated series with Paramount+ and Nickelodeon! There’s never a dull moment with Nate Wright in the picture. Whether getting caught playing table football in the library or raiding the teachers’ lounge, Nate’s antics are always hilarious and detention worthy! Sixth grade can be a tension convention for Nate Wright. His baseball team’s just been given the lamest name in Little League history; he’s on the verge of becoming know-it-all Gina’s personal servant for a day; and Spitsy, the closest thing he has to a dog of his own, is in love with a CAT. Yup, Nate’s up to his ears in stress. Luckily, the perfect remedy is close at hand: an empty plastic soda bottle. All Nate has to do is drum it gently against his head–thunka, thunka, thunka–and the pressures of dealing with Coach John, Mrs. Godfrey, and the terrifying Kim Cressly begin to fade away. Who knew an empty bottle could be so therapeutic? There’s only one stress-buster that’s better: reading Big Nate comics! So sit back, relax, and enjoy this latest collection, Thunka, Thunka, Thunka.
