Publisher's Synopsis
Nate Wright has it pretty rough. His neighbor's loyal but loony dog Spitsy befriends a cat, Nate's baseball team has just been named the "Cream Puffs," and he has to stay out of detention for a whole week unless he wants to lose a bet to know-it-all Gina and be her personal slave for an entire day! What's a sixth grader to do?? Not Coach John's wind sprints. Thunka, thunka, thunka, that's what! Nate puts a plastic bottle to his head and thunks his way past bullies, his arch nemesis/social studies teacher Mrs. Godfrey, and Kim Cressly-a girl with a big crush and an even bigger grip. Nate and best pals Francis and Teddy blow off some steam in this latest Big Nate collection Thunka, Thunka, Thunka.
