...Nate Wright's a winner—in his own mind, anyway. So when things go wrong, he's at a loss to explain why. How does his soccer team manage to lose to a school with a sixty-game winless streak? What's he doing at the movies on a Friday night . . . with GINA? And why, oh why is one of his classmates (hint: she's Nate's dream girl) suddenly moving 3,000 miles away? It's all enough to make a sixth-grade superstar feel . . . well, not so super.

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
