Nate Wright is known to his pals and teachers for many things, his penchant for mischief and his school record for detentions being the foremost.

Nate Wright is one of a kind. Who else would start a rock 'n' roll band and name it Enslave the Mollusk? Or celebrated Prank Day by arranging a date between Mrs. Godfrey and a lovesick rodeo clown?

Whether he's fast talking his way out of trouble or unleashing the contents of his locker on unsuspecting classmates, Nate does it with gusto. And every time he swings into action......

Can Nate Wright get any cooler? Not according to Nate himself. He's already P.S. 38's rockin'est drummer, finest poet (check out his haiku about brazil nuts), and deepest thinker—in his own mind.
