HarperCollins Big Nate Goes for Broke

I liked it I buyed it for my sister

My grandson adores this series, so I give a 5* to all Big Nates books!

Well, another Big Nate book! They are all very fun, I must say. It's very funny at the best of times. You wish to know what happens? Ok, I'll give you the highlights.... It all starts with Nate and his gang of friends at their normal school, P.S. 38. They are all fine when THIS hapoens- "the school has something weird going on! You will have to go home! We will find you a new school!" (OK, it's not exactly what Principal Nicholes said. But it's CLOSE!) So, then everyone heads home. Buses. Cars. Trucks. Then it turns out that they are going to Jefferson, their arch-rivil. Then the gang of friends are really bummed. But they discover alot of cool things there. Sensing mothers for the water fountains, a place to have out during free periods, auditorium sets that recline. Then there is a basketball game within the two schools. Jefferson won, 129 to 43. Wow. That is amazing. So then P.S. 38 to a snow sculpture contest. Oh, did I mention that Chad hurt his tailbone and there is this person named Nolan that keeps on Harrising (how DO you spell it, anyway?)? Maybe I didn't. Well that does happen. So then at some point Dee Dee says to the gang- "they have an Achilles' heel!" What do as THAT mean? The rest of the gang is a bit confused. So Nate decides to ask his sister, Ellen. She gives him a report on Achilles. This is what is means- " when people say you have an Achilles heel, you have a little weekness that could cause you BIG trouble." that's cool, right? So then the snow sculpture contest comes. The P.S. 38 school makes an Achilles snow sculpture, whereas the Jefferson school covers a knight. That's there Achilles's heel! Cool, right? So then the P.S. 38 school wins the contest. Oh! I almost forgot. Nate hurts his right wrist. Ow. It was from jumping off a stable to get Chads 'pillow' (the things he needs to put pressure of his tailbone.). So, since Nate is right handed, that makes a problem. Anyway, so nate and the gang goes back to the P.S. 38 school. And they have a good ending! So those are the highlights. I hope you liked this book as much as I did. Thank you for reading this review. Happy reading!

Muy bien. A mi hijo le ha encantado.

Cool, if you love Diary Of a Wimpy Kid you'll love Big Nate! Funny, Interesting and is Impossible to put down! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND THE OTHER BIG NATE BOOKS! About: Big Nate goes to P.S. 38 who are arch rivals to Jefferson(who beat P.S. 38 at everything marginally). When the school floods Big Nate and gang are forced to go to ..... JEFFERSON until the school is fixed. Can P.S. 38 stop Jefferson's Nolan and gang bragging and bullying them by finally beating Jefferson at 1 activity.... This is the latest released Big Nate book, you can also read the other Big Nate books they aren't in any series/specific order. So it doesn't matter in which order you read them! Other Big Nate Books: (In no specific order..not including this book) Big Nate - The Boy with the Biggest Head in the World Big Nate - Big Nate on a Roll Big Nate - Big Nate Strikes Again The above are all the Big Nate Story books which are released. They're also Big Nate Comic's which are also available on amazon. NEXT OUT Big Nate Flips Out!

My son (9Yrs) likes reading but it is not his top priority . I bought one of these Big Nate books for him on a whim because I heard about other kids in his class reading them and I'm so glad I did. He read "Big Nate - the boy with the biggest head in the world" in 2 days and wouldn't put it down. I am now buying other books in the series for him to read at home and at school. Great series, highly recommend.
