NATE THE GREAT, WHERE ARE YOU?: Can a detective get a day off? Nate the Great and his dog, Sludge, want to take a break from solving cases. So they hide out in the woods. But soon they hear familiar voices shouting, "Nate the Great, where are you?" There are many mysteries to solve!
NATE THE GREAT AND THE MISSING BIRTHDAY SNAKE: Will this case slither away? Rosamond is having a birthday party for her cousin Lizzy! Nate the Great and his dog, Sludge, are invited. So are Lizzy's four pet snakes. Nate believes that a good detective knows his limits. Nate does not want to go to a birthday party filled with dangerous, slimy guests. But when one of these "guests" goes missing, Nate and Sludge must face their fears to save the day!
NATE THE GREAT AND THE WANDERING WORD: What does a strange, long, made-up word sound like? Esmeralda came up with the perfect name for Rosamond's pet concert. But she lost the pink paper where she wrote the word--and she can't remember what it is. Nate the Great and his dog, Sludge, take on the unusual case, and they are soon braving pink papers and barking, oinking, and talking pets. Will Nate and Sludge find the word in time for the show to go on?
