Book Review: Nate the Great Talks Turkey: With help from Olivia Sharp

Nate the Great Talks Turkey by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat and Mitchell Sharmat, illustrated by Jody Wheeler, Delacorte Press, New York, 2006.
This is my second Nate the great book, and I think it will be my last.  I do not find the characters very likeable.  Nate the great and Olivia Sharp are cousins.  Instead I find them full of themselves.  In this book they are after a wild turkey which has been showing up around town.  Olivia flies in from California to join the hunt.  And they both have success in their way.

Children's Book Review: Nate the Great and the Hungry Book Club

Nate the great and the Hungry Book Club by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat and Mitchell Sharmat, illustrated by Jody Wheeler, in the style of Marc Simont, Delacorte Press, New York, 2009.
Nate is a detective, so he keeps saying.  However his cases are not very complicated.  In this case, he solves the mystery of pages being ripped out of books.  In other words a detective book without much suspense or excitement.
