Praise for the Nate the Great Series

“A consistently
entertaining series.” —Booklist
 
“Loose,
humorous chalk and watercolor spots help turn this beginning reader into a page-turner.” —Publishers Weekly

delighting beginning readers for years.” —Kirkus Reviews

From the Publisher

It is Halloween night and all the kids are dressed in scary and funny costumes. Their Trick or Treat bags are getting heavier.

Nate's good friend Rosamond needs his help. Her cat, Little Hex, is missing. Little Hex hates Halloween, so maybe he's hiding. Or is he lost? Nate and his trusty dog Sludge take the case and hunt in the night for Little Hex. They pass robots, pirates, and witches. But where will they find Little Hex?

    Loved this book and the ease of it for my son to read. My son is autistic and I sometimes struggles to find books that keep him interested and challenge his reading skills. This book made it so easy!

    Great book series. I purchased this for my 7 year old son as a reward for helping me around the house. He has read this book out loud to me and we both enjoyed it very much. I look forward to hearing more of the Nate the Great books

    This was our first Nate the Great book, though I have already ordered more. I homeschool and my 9 year old son is dyslexic. This was the perfect introduction to chapter books for him. It had a few challenging words, but was not so hard that my son was discouraged. He read it over two days during reading class and loved it. Can't wait for our others to arrive. He is so excited that he read a bigger book.

    I really love all of the Nate the Great stories, and this one was just as cute as the other ones I have read. I teach first grade, so it is sometimes hard to find books that are more challenging (chapter books for my higher readers) that are also age-level appropriate. This series is perfect!

    Reviewed in Japan on March 28, 2019
    公文で英語を習ってる息子の為に興味を持って欲しくてネイトシリーズ3冊購入しました。しかし、まだまだ早かったようで全くダメでした。この内容は中学生位の内容だそうで、息子が今レビューを書いたまさにこの6年生のこの時期に英検3級を合格した頃にこの本を手に取り読んでくれるようになりました。ご購入されるのであればこれくらいの時期が内容も分かりベストかもしれません。
