“Next time a drawing vanishes from the fridge door, your child will want to take the case. Clues a new reader can follow make them feel properly clever.”
A lost painting, a yellow room and a detective who loves pancakes.
Nate the Great is an early-reader mystery about a boy detective who takes on his friend Annie's case of a missing picture.
Nate is eating pancakes when Annie asks for help: her picture of her dog, Fang, has vanished. Nate gets the facts, asks the right questions and narrows down the suspects. Along the way he visits Rosamond, whose four cats all have Hex in their names.
Why children love it
- Nate tells it himself in short, deadpan lines, like "Annie liked yellow."
- Simple ink-and-yellow pictures, such as Annie's bedroom with its yellow walls, bed and chair.
- Bonus activities and a full list of Nate's other cases, as the covers promise.
