A new collection of classic stories from Nate the Great and his trusty companion Sludge.


Volume 2 includes:

Nate the Great and the Phony Clue

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.


Nate the Great and the Missing Key

Nate the Great doesn't especially want to go to a birthday party for Annie's ferocious dog, Fang. But he can't resist a mystery--and when Annie loses her house key and can't get inside to set up the party, Nate and his trusty dog, Sludge, are hot on the trial.


Nate the Great and the Snowy Trail

Nate the Great, super sleuth, has his work cut out for him when Rosamond loses his birthday present.  He and his faithful dog Sludge must face snow, ice, and ferocious-looking Fang, Annie's dog, to solve the case.  But how can Nate find his missing present when Rosamond won't tell him what it is?


Nate the Great and the Crunchy Christmas

Annie's dog is unhappy. When Fang is unhappy, everyone is unhappy. Especially Nate the Great. So Nate agrees to sniff out Fang's mysteriously missing Christmas mail. It's cold and snowy. But Nate the Great and his dog, Sludge, will try to solve this holiday case in time for Fang to have a crunchy, munchy Christmas.
