This isn't just any weed. It's a Superweed that Oliver bought from Rosamond's ADOPT-A-WEED sale.
First Nate must figure out where to look for the weed. Together with his trusty dog, Sludge, he searches for clues in the woods, the park, and even the library! But is the biggest clue right under Nate's nose?
" All the familiar elements are here; the funny laconic dialogue, Nate's faithful dog Sludge, Annie's fiendish hound, a pancake pick-me-up, a note to Mom, and a simple but not immediately obvious solution." |
