Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3--The Sharmat team keeps its series fresh in this 24th case for the young detective. Here, theatrical cousin Olivia fears for the safety of her pet owl and enlists Nate and his dog to escort Hoot on a train from San Francisco to Los Angeles. With plenty of suspects, comical plot twists, and a satisfying resolution, the authors carry on their tradition of interesting, but peacefully concluded mysteries. In her fourth turn at illustrating the Nate books, Weston ably mimics original illustrator Marc Simont's style, occasionally showing her own flair, as in a full-page portrait of the owl. A strong addition to a popular series.--Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA

Nate Really IS Great!,
By Reading Runner (Chestnut Hill, MA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nate the Great on the Owl Express (Paperback)
I first picked up a Nate the Great book for my five year-old a few months ago after having been warned off getting him the Junie B. Jones series as there is a lot of negative language in those books (calling people "stupid" and things like that).
My son was just getting into reading chapter books and these were a great introduction. He had previously read the "Biscuit" books about the girl and her dog, biscuit. The language in the Nate the Great books is not difficult to read, but there are enough words per page that your child will feel as though they are reading a "big kid" book. The stories are interesting as well - we have fun reading them together and trying to figure out the clues and solve the mysteries right along with Nate. My son laughs out loud at some of the things Nate says and has now read about six of them! He devours them in under an hour and asks me to pick up more every time I go to the library. It is great to see my son's confidence in reading boosted by these wonderful books and to see him not only enjoying reading, but enjoying the stories and using his logical thinking skills to figure out the mysteries as well. I would recommend this and other Nate the Great books to beginning-intermediate readers - ages 5-8/9. Enjoy!

My son love this collection,

This review is from: Nate the Great on the Owl Express (Paperback)
This is a great book. My son is 6 and loves reading this book and feeling like a detective and he even dresses up and goes on hunts for clues like he is Nate the Great. It is also full of basic sight words, to get kids into reading chapter books. The words are easy, but the pages are longer so kids feel that they are reading harder material.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Very good children's book!,

My 7 year old can read this book over and over. It is funny and keeps the story moving. Nice surprise ending. Additionally, there are activity pages in the back that are fascinating!
