Nate Wright carries a fortune cookie slip in his pocket that declares he's destined for greatness. The sixth grader believes this completely. He sees himself as naturally awesome, someone meant for really big achievements. The problem is that life keeps getting in his way. Trouble follows Nate wherever he goes, turning his days into a series of mishaps and complications. He accidentally causes problems at school and finds himself in situations that definitely don't make him look like teacher's pet material. But Nate refuses to let setbacks shake his confidence. He maintains his cool through every disaster and keeps believing in his own greatness. The fortune cookie said so, after all, and that's proof enough for him. His unshakeable self confidence carries him through each chaotic day as he waits for his moment of true greatness to arrive.
