Series: Olivia Sharp: Agent for Secrets

Olivia Sharp, cousin to super sleuth Nate the Great, is a detective too--and she's back in a limited reissued series of four books. Rather than solve mysteries, Olivia helps friends with their problems by detecting what's wrong beneath the surface. Beginning readers will be won over by Olivia's spunk, eccentricities, and can-do spirit.

""I, Nate the Great, have something to say. My cousin Olivia Sharp is almost (but not quite) the world's best detective. I solve mysteries. She's an agent for secrets. You won't forget Olivia. She won't let you.""
