Nate the Great, Where Are You?

K-Gr 2—Nate the Great and his dog Sludge have solved countless mysteries. They need a break from their detective work.

With logic, coincidence, and luck, all of the mysteries are solved and these main characters realize just how good it is to be Nate the Great and detective dog Sludge.
