In perpetual sixth grader Nate Wright's eighth adventure, he develops a new crush, goes a few rounds with a school bully, faces a possible cross-country move, and participates in the annual Ultimate Frisbee Mud Bowl. Once again, Peirce captures everyboy Nate's foibles and good heart via humorous comics that don't shy away from tough subjects and that highlight Nate's emotional growth.
