Nate the Great books aren't that great. I hated them when I was a kid, yet I would always read them.The endings of the books were always the same, they figured out what or who did it. And where are Nate's parents? They just let their son walk around everywhere and question people. That is very irresponsible of them. Nate the Great books always made me fall asleep and always wasted my time. I would not recommend this book to anyone, especially little kids. If kids want real mystery, they should r More...

I once read this as a kid, and now I got to read pay it forward. It is a cute story, filled with some sleuthing that surely keeps some younger kids guessing until the very end. Some of the sentences were overly simplistic, but it was a good, quick read for my 5-year old to enjoy.

This is a fun story in the "Nate the Great" series. It's a bit predictable, but the mystery is actually not that hard to imagine and Nate shows an impressive sense of direction and common sense. Our girls like these books and they are good, short mysteries that are fairly easy to solve.

My son really enjoys the Nate the Great series. We read this one before bed. He's starting to want us to read chapter books, and these are easy enough to read in just a couple nights. They are easy to follow and help with comprehension skills.

I read it in my 6th grade. My bestfriend gave me that book. It's good. A practice for us in our reading comprehension

Beginning Reader: Basic and easy to understand, yet interesting story-line. Nate the Great is smart and witty.

My non-reader (gasp) is reading! He picked this book to read for our next book club (that is about animals - and this has a dog on the cover so it must be about dogs right? I was just so excited that he picked a nearly-chapter book I didn't care that it isn't about animals really!) He is reading everyday and has a schedule to be finished by the next book club. I am proud of him.

Nate the Great books are great! I recommend them for children who easily get bored with chapter books but are more advanced for chapter books.
