Summary:
Sixth grade can be a tension convention for Nate Wright. His baseball teaḿs just been given the lamest name in Little League history; hés on the verge of becoming know-it-all Ginás 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, Natés 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?
