A missing grocery list becomes Nate’s next case

While on vacation, Nate the Great takes up a small but pressing mystery: finding Claude’s lost grocery list before lunch. The search brings in Nate’s dog, Sludge, and the possibility that Rosamond’s unusual cat pancakes may be connected. The setup gives beginning readers a clear detective puzzle to follow, with logical thinking and problem-solving at the heart of the investigation. The everyday stakes—a missing list and an approaching meal—keep the case grounded in familiar details.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning readers exploring chapter books and detective mysteries

These chapter books introduce beginning readers to the detective mystery genre. Perfect for the Common Core, kids can problem-solve with Nate, using logical thinking to solve mysteries!

Although Nate the Great and his dog, Sludge, are on vacation, they just can't resist a new case. When his friend Claude's grocery list is lost, Nate sets out to find it before lunch. But lunch draws nearer and the list is still missing. Nate the Great is worried: his reputation is at stake. It looks as if list has vanished--unless Rosamond's strange cat pancakes are somehow at the heart of the mystery.
