Product Description:
All aboard the Owl Express! Nate, the great detective, and his dog Sludge, hit the rails on their latest case. Their mission: To guard an owl named Hoot. Hoot belongs to Nate’s cousin, Olivia Sharp, and she thinks someone on the train might be out to get her feathered friend. But whooo? Sludge keeps an eye on the owl’s cage while Nate snoops for clues. Then Hoot disappears! With many suspects to question, and many places to look, Nate knows one thing for sure—being the bodyguard to a little bird is a lot more work than he ever imagined! As the train races toward its final stop, can Nate sort out the mystery of the vanishing owl?

I very 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!
