“Real detectives do their homework: Nate even visits the library before keeping watch at night. That’s a sneaky nudge towards looking things up, wrapped in giggles.”
Someone raids Oliver's garbage can every night. Time for a stakeout.
Nate the Great Goes Undercover is an early-reader mystery about a boy detective on the trail of a garbage-can raider.
Oliver, the pest next door, says something knocks over his garbage can every night. With a long list of suspects, Nate reads up on night-time animals at the library. Then he leaves his mother a note and settles in to watch the can, from very close up.
Why children love it
- Nate creeps down the street chanting "Right, left, behind," then walks smack into a pole.
- Rosamond answers his questions with a very long list of things she'd rather eat than garbage.
- Bold ink drawings show Nate "resting hard" on the sofa and creeping along the street.

Quick answers
Do you need to read the first book? No. Each book is a complete case, though Rosamond pops up again.
Why is it called Goes Undercover? It's a play on words: Nate may have to hide under the garbage can lid.
