Nate the Great and the Wandering Word by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat, Andrew Sharmat, Jody Wheeler
nathansnook's review
A major departure to the series with introduction to a new character and the first time in which wordplay becomes something figurative and metaphorical:
“When did you lose the word?
Where did you lose the word?
How did you lose the word?”
Also the first time in which the animation style is a bit different and it feels like this was supposed to be the beginning of something new, even though this is the third book shy of the series ending.
Mid at best and should sit at the bottom of your Nate the Great literacy.

Pets concert, what an amazing idea, children books always show me how far imagination can go! The last one of Nate the Great, a wonderful series!

Neo’s at the helm for another exciting read, one in which the mystery is in the words. Nate the Great is a wonderful kid detective and listened carefully when asked to chip in. Nate’s friend, Esmeralda really needs his help, as she has misplaced a word that she wrote down. It is quite a complicated task, especially when Nate gets all the clues and ventures out to find what he needs. The case goes slowly, but Nate and his dog, Sludge, will not give up until they get to the bottom of the case. With twists and turns throughout, the story takes on a life of its own. Neo quite enjoyed reading this, as the story took him out to meet a number of interesting characters. He liked that the chapters were short, even when the story seemed silly. He hopes to read a few more of these mysteries soon.
