  One of my students is a huge fan of Big Nate, and when he bought it at our recent book fair, and read it in one day, I knew I had to read it as well. What a fun, fun book! And I loved the emphasis put on both creativity and teamwork in this book in the Big Nate series. A great addition to our library!

  This book is very addicting, it's very hard to get off. It's a good book to enjoy and it also has some comic parts to it. Nate does everything odd in the book. Nate's archenemy (Gina) is trying to edit the yearbook but he thought she would make everything about herself some he told his friend (Francis) to be the Co-editor and do stuff to stop her from taking over, this book can be found in Sora. Superpro book, must-read ;).

  The book Big Nate: Goes for Broke by Lincoln Peirce is a hilarious book full of fun stories and events of young cartoonist Nate Wright. If you like fiction books, I highly recommend this book and series.
  
  Nate Wright, a future cartoonist in the making, is tired of his school always loosing to their rivals from Jefferson Middle School. When Nate's school, P.S. 38, has to be fixed due to a pipe malfunction, Nate and his fellow comrades must go to school at Jefferson for two weeks. Nate is determined to beat Jefferson at the school's basketball game, but he finds himself in deep trouble when he stood up for Chad in the food court and ended up breaking his wrist. You can only find out if P.S. 38 finally beats Jefferson at something once you've read this book.
  
  I recommend this book to anybody who likes to read fiction books. I have read the books in this series many times and find them very entertaining. Even the author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Jeff Kinney said, "Big Nate is funny, big time." I hope you consider reading this book because I LOVED it! This book has 224 pages.

  Did you ever had that one school you despised as a child ? It could be a rival school, or a school that someone you hated went to, but most of us have had this school before in our lives. This conflict is perfectly shown in this book, Big Nate Goes For Broke. This book perfectly explains how 2 schools fight over literally everything and how school rivalries can get very serious if it gets out of hand. This book focuses on a a whole school trying to find the Achilles' heal of the rival school they have to face, Jefferson Middle School. It's now up to Nate Wright and his whole class, P.S. 38's seventh grade, to find Jefferson Middle School's weakness and exploit it to finally win against them.
  Nate Wright is in charge of the P.S. doodling club, a group he founded to be a place where anyone who wants can draw whatever they want after school. As a way of expanding the club, one of the teachers suggest that Nate try to add a few girls into the club. Being faced with this task, Nate decides to pick a girl who works as the poster designer for the school DeeDee. As Nate is about to ask DeeDee to join the club, he stumbles his words and DeeDee immediately thinks she's asking him to the dance. She says yes which forces him to go to the dance. During the dance the roof springs a leak, and the place starts flooding so the chaperones rush all the kids out to see their school flooding from the outside. The school is closed for maintenance to work on, and Nate and DeeDee are happy that they don't have to go to school for a while. To their dismay, they figure out from Nate's dad that everyone at P.S. 38 has to attend Jefferson Middle School. Jefferson Middle School is superior to P.S. 38 in every way. It has better food, a better mascot, better sport teams, and even better artists. Nate and his grade feel crushed by how superior the school is and sets out to find a way to beat them.
  I love the story of this book, it feels more unique than other books similar to this. I feel this book is very relatable, especially for the competitive people who care about the wins to losses ratio of rival schools. The story composition and plot are very well executed, while at the rising action and the climax, it feels very exciting. Like I previously said about this series, Lincoln Pierce, the author, has an amazing sense of pacing. The timing is perfect, and even in the climax it doesn't get to out of hand like other books do at their climax.
  I feel like literally any competitive person would like this book, as the whole book is about the competitiveness between 2 schools. Another good recommendation is the demographic of the book which is roughly 8-13, which is a perfect age for reading this book.

  Não sei se todos já passaram pela fase de sair comprando livros, e ainda comprar um volume a frente de outros que você nem tem ou já leu, esse livro faz parte dessa fase junto com o livro 2, comprei aleatoriamente só porque estava barato, enfim.
  Li Nate Volta a Atacar em Janeiro como parte da MLV e no hospital como forma de aliviar a tensão que estava com a minha avó internada, esse livro me ajudou com o "peso" e lendo Nate Vai Para o Tudo ou Nada, o 4º livro, pude perceber esse alívio.
  Nesse livro mesmo não tendo lido o primeiro e nem o terceiro, puder perceber a evolução do autor na forma de escrita, em como ele montou sua história, mesmo sendo escrito a partir de suas tirinhas e nem sabendo se estão em ordem cronológica e tals, consegui ver esse crescimento.
  Confesso que Nate ainda tem seus momentos da idade, porém, seu amadurecimento está mais interessante aqui. Amei a Diana, uma garota forte, inteligente e beeem dramática, mas nada que estrague a história. Gostei de ver mais interação do Chad, Francis e Arturo. Me trouxe até momentos de nostalgia das aulas de artes na época de escola.
  Esse livro virou um xodozinho, guardo com carinho essa leitura.
  Uma história leve, fluída e gostosa de ler. Super recomendo a leitura independente da idade. Gosto da forma como foi montado o livro, das interações que tem nele, fui desvendando os enigmas conforme ia lendo.
  Não sei se um dia vou ler os outros, mas fica o carinho dos dois lidos.
