There are three stories in the book. The first is a decent one about a baking competition against Jefferson middle school and trying to fake a haunting and Nate's dad dressing up as clown to go to a funeral.
The second has Nate being pushed into figure skating for gym. He needs a partner to make it work but the only decent skater, Chad (who seems to have a lot of chest hair?) is forbidden from skating by a family curse.
This one has a subplot with Nate's friends trying to teach his dad how to say no to Nate.
The third story is Nate's dad trying to find a job which leaves an opening for Nate's band to step into a wedding.

At the end of each of the stories is a page from the original comic is was based on. And, I feel like a curmudgeon typing this but, the (original) book was better.
Two and a half stars
