Yikes. Life just couldn’t get worse, now, could it? Yet all his luck is turned around by a broken foot off an action figure. Next thing you know, Nate just can’t stop winning! One lucky thing after another, Nate is the hot shot of the entire school, even making Marcus, the cool 7th grader look just a little bit dorky. But when Nate’s lucky charm is taken away by Ms. Godfrey, AND Marcus challenges him to the ultimate field day showdown, will Nate be able to keep his winning streak? Or was it just the lucky charm all along?
