Nate the Great and the Sticky Case

Nate the Great and the Sticky Case

I, Nate the Great, was drying off from the rain. I was sitting under a blanket and reading a detective book. My dog, Sludge, was sniffing it.

I was on page 33 when I heard a knock. I opened the door. Claude was there. “ I lost my best dinosaur, ” Claude said. He was always losing things. “ This is your biggest loss yet, ” I said. “ A dinosaur is huge. How could you lose it?” “ My dinosaur is small, ” Claude said. “ It is a stegosaurus on a stamp. Can you help me find it?” “ It is hard to find something that small, ” I said.

“ This will be a big case. But I will take it. Tell me, where was the stegosaurus stamp the last time you saw it?”

“ It was on a table in my house, ” Claude said. “ I was showing all my dinosaur stamps to my friends. The stegosaurus stamp was my favorite. ” “ Who are your friends?” I asked. “ Annie, Pip, Rosamond, and you. But you weren’t there, ” Claude added.
