Content:
There is a series of books which called Nate The Great attract me very much. Then I took one of them, called Nate The Great - Stalks Stupidweed. I think the name of the book is very funny, Stupidweed. Is the weed stupid? Why did the author say the weed is stupid? There are many questions surrounding me. After reading the book, I know that is a detective story, an interesting detective story.
The book is about Nate the Great, who was a famous detective. Also the story was about Oliver lost his weed called Superweed, which Oliver bought from Rosamond's ADOPT-A-WEED sale. Then Oliver asked his friend Nate the Great to find his lost weed. First, Nate the Great figured out where to look for the weed. Then he found the weed with his trusty dog, Sludge, he searched for clues in the woods, the park, and even the library. At last, Nate the Great found out the weed, he also undoes all the doubts with his clear-headed mind and he doubts of everything.
In the book, it totally shows up five characters, Nate the Great, Oliver, Rosamond, Fang and Claude. At those characters, I like Nate the Great most, who is the protagonist. Nate is a detective, but he does not want to take risk, such as he hates cases where he has to be brave. However, he is also a genius. For example, he found out the weed between two pages into Wonderful Weeds of the World, which book was borrowed by Oliver. He also explained the reasons about the weed was between two pages is the weed fell into the book as the certificate hit the weed. Hence, I think Nate is a clever and careful guy. To be a successful detective, he has a clear-headed mind and he doubts of everything. I love this type of people.
I love this book, as the protagonist was an attractive boy, who is a clever, careful, clear-headed. Also, the story was interesting; some parts of the story are very funny. I would recommend this book, Nate the Great-Stalk Stupidweed to my friends. I also read other books by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat. Not only this series of books called Nate the Great, and also the author uses many lively phrases. It makes me easy to know the story. Her creations are suitable for all ages, they also makes people learn a lot of things. Children will enjoy her books, as illustrations of books are very colorful and attractive. Students will love to read her books since phrases of books are easy to know and lively, they will make students learn more and more. Adults will enjoy reading her books because they can find their childlike memories and recall their childhood dreams in the books. Also we will put more attentions about our life after reading her books, such as when there are some doubts, I will find a solution to it, not just let it go.
When I was a child, I had dreamed to become a detective and worshipped detectives since most of detectives are extremely clever and careful to tackle many problems and doubts. I know that is no easy way to be a detective; it requires a clear-headed mind, doubt of everything and many other things. I am not this type of person, but I still worship detectives. In many TV programs, detectives like hero. When some people who faced some insoluble problems, detectives will help them to tackle them. Also they will help polices to catch villains and attack high crimes. Hence, detectives like hero, not for a moment did we raise the question of the worthiness of the detectives we worshipped.
Now, I Know the weed called Stupidweed is not its original name, it is called Superweed in the beginning. Nate called the weed Stupidweed that is not its problem; the problem is laid in Oliver. At last, the book also teaches people how to plant, it can let me learn more and more about plants' characteristics. We can learn lots of knowledge from Nate the Great - Stalks Stupidweed. And we will know that a great detective is not easy to bear. If you want to be a successful detective, it must require a clear-headed mind and doubt of everything. Nate the Great, a successful detective, is worthiness.
