Review

Nate the Great keeps up his detecting with the newest book in the series, "Nate the Great and the Missing Birthday Snake." Written by Andrew Sharmat and Marjorie Weinman Sharmat, Nate is invited by his strange neighbor Rosamond to a birthday party for her cousin Lizzy. When Nate gets to the party, one of Lizzy's pet snakes has gone missing (and of course it's the biggest python). They ask Nate to help them find the snake. It is written in an easy to read format with simple sentences and has a funny plot that kids will like. Probably a must-buy if your "Nate the Great" series gets a lot of use. ~Reviewed by Kate Radke

Overall Book Score: good
