Items related to Nate the Great, San Francisco Detective
Nate, the great detective, and his dog, Sludge, are off to San Francisco! They're going to visit Nate's cousin Olivia Sharp. She's a detective, too, and a very busy one.
Olivia isn't around to solve her case number 22. Her client, Duncan, has lost his joke book. He tells Nate that if the book isn't found--and soon--the world will come to an end. Nate takes the case. He and Sludge cruise up and down and around San Francisco in the limo, tracking down clues. Sticky, icky clues, big and small clues, all-around-the-town clues that take them to a pancake house, over the Golden Gate Bridge, and finally to a place that seems wrong but could be right. Can Nate the Great keep the world from coming to an end? Can he solve his first out-of-town case?

From Booklist:
Martha Weston is a noted children's book illustrator.
Everyone's favorite boy detective returns in this new adventure in which Nate and his dog, Sludge, journey to San Francisco to visit Nate's detective cousin, Olivia Sharp. Olivia is busy solving mysteries, so she sends her chauffeur to the airport. Nate agrees to take one of her cases when the client tells Nate that the world will come to an end if he does not find his lost joke book. As with the other books in the series, an obvious solution presents itself, and Nate thinks he has the case solved; but it's never that simple. In the end, Nate proves he deserves his title of greatness, and youngsters get another first-rate mystery to solve along with him. Familiar characters and themes are given new life in the San Francisco setting, and Olivia and her chauffeur, Willie, are two promising new characters readers will look forward to meeting again. Weston's watercolor illustrations, in the style of the series' original illustrator, Marc Simont, manage to have a somewhat modern-day look while retaining the flavor of the 1970s, when the groundbreaking series first debuted.
