Description:

There's never a dull moment with Nate Wright in the picture. Whether getting caught playing table football in the library or raiding the teachers' lounge, Nate's antics are always hilarious and detention worthy!

Sixth grade can be a tension convention for Nate Wright.  His baseball team’s just been given the lamest name in Little League history; he’s on the verge of becoming know-it-all Gina’s 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, 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 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? There’s only one stress-buster that’s better:  reading Big Nate comics!  So sit back, relax, and enjoy this latest collection, Thunka, Thunka, Thunka.

Review:

Big Nate: Thunka, Thunka, Thunka is another fun read. In this collection, Nate Wright continues to get into trouble making me laugh so hard at all the ridiculous things he does such as being reluctant to buy his sister a Christmas gift. Yet when he does, it turned into a big mess.

He also made a bet with one of his classmates Gina that he could go a whole week without getting detention which for Nate is a huge feat. This had a surprising ending.

Nate doesn't always get into trouble he did try to help out a little girl for the Book Buddies program even if she was a little scary. Okay a lot scary but he did his best to help her. He also tried to get his favorite channel 12 meteorologist Wink Summers his job back with a petition despite everyone favoring the new guy Chip Cavendish.

There was so much to laugh at in this book such as Nate being mad that his dog Spitsy is in love with his friend Francis' cat Pickles. I know these Big Nate comics are supposed to be for kids but I would consider them to be for all ages because I think there is something for everyone to laugh at.
