5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book in the World, November 6, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Nate the Great and the Halloween Hunt (Nate the Great, No. 12) (Paperback)

This is a good book for Halloween because it takes place on Halloween. It is really, really, really funny. Nate thought his dog was a ghost and that made me laugh. It was my favorite Nate the Great book. It was the funniest book I ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nate The Great And The Halloween Hunt, July 27, 2010

This review is from: Nate the Great and the Halloween Hunt (Nate the Great, No. 12) (Paperback)

ISBN 0440403413 - Printed in the United States of America (a plus, for me!). Nate the Great and Halloween seem to have been made for each other. The Halloween Hunt is bound to appeal to the target audience of 6 to 9 year olds, as well as regular fans of the innocently egotistical Nate.

Nate is at home on Halloween with his dog, Sludge, answering the door for trick-or-treaters, when a mystery knocks. Rosamond's cat, Little Hex, has gone missing! Nate has Rosamond go over her actions since she lost saw the cat and, after a false start or two, finds the lost feline with simple deductive reasoning. And the help of Sludge, of course.

Author Marjorie Weinman Sharmat's Nate is an awesome character, as smart as any adult and as randomly hilarious as only kids can be. I dislike the way the text is laid out in the book, with really short lines in a really large font and line-breaks without any reason, but beyond that, there's not a thing I'd complain about. The illustrations by Marc Simont are appropriately dark and spooky when they should be and funny at just the right times. Nate the Great is a series that boys, in particular, will enjoy.
