Contents
Plot[]
Jefferson Middle School has always (except for a debate and a soccer game) beat P.S. 38 at almost everything. Nate decides it is time for P.S. 38 to surpass them for once, but this will not be easy when a sprinkler malfunction has messed up P.S. 38 and caused the students to have to stay at Jefferson until the problem is resolved. This results in many conflicts between the two schools.

Behind the Scenes[]
- P.S. 38's mold issues in the novel may have been based off the comic strip arc starting on September 1, 2008. [1]
- This sort of issue has happened before when P.S 38 had to close because of toxic mold. At that time, Big Nate and his friends also had to go to Jefferson where they beat them in the big soccer game.
