Nate the Great and the Phony Clue (Dell Young Yearling)

by Marjorie Sharmat

Nate the Great and the Phony Clue (Dell Young Yearling) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Early one morning, a torn slip of paper with the mysterious letters V I T A appears on Nate the Great's doorstep.  He and his faithful dog, Sludge, set off to solve this latest mystery.  Against ferocious cats, hostile adversaries, and a sly, phony clue — not to mention a three o'clock deadline — Nate struggles to prove, once again, that he is Nate the Great.

Review:

"As usual, Sharmat's tongue-in-cheek style is well designed for laughter and easy reading."—Booklist

"[Nate] survives [the] challenge with his title—beginning readers' favorite sleuth—still intact."—Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis:

When he finds a torn piece of paper with only part of a word on it, boy detective Nate sets out to find the missing pieces.
