Great early reader series.
Mystery genre.
Nate and Sludge find a tortoise and must figure out who it belongs to.

Nate is great fun. I like the fact that the kids he interacts with are not always entirely likable. (

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and someone is eating the flowers in Nate the Great's garden. A green tortoise is slowly, slowly stepping across the lawn, and Nate is slowly, slowly following him. Where does Nate's green guest truly belong? It may take all of Nate the Great's patience and sharp eyesight to find out slowly.
