I got this book to read to my nephew for Halloween. I haven't read any other Nate the Great books, but had heard good things about them. I gave this book 3 stars, averaging out my nephew and my reactions. I was disappointed and felt that, in comparison to other books in this age range, it was too simple of a story and fell below his intelligence level. That said, he really enjoyed the book as a bedtime story.

He's six and had the book read to him. He did not read it independently.
It is Halloween night and all the kids are dressed in scary and funny costumes. Their Trick or Treat bags are getting heavier.

Nate's good friend Rosamond needs his help. Her cat, Little Hex, is missing. Little Hex hates Halloween, so maybe he's hiding. Or is he lost? Nate and his trusty dog Sludge take the case and hunt in the night for Little Hex. They pass robots, pirates, and witches. But where will they find Little Hex?
Nate the Great is......well.. great! I love this series! Halloween is great......Nate is great... what more does a Fall and book lover need?
Nate the Great finds Rosamond's missing cat, Little Hex, on Halloween night.
