Bookroo's summary

Nate the Great faces a peculiar mystery: a lost word crucial for Rosamond's pet concert. With his trusty dog, Sludge, Nate navigates a world of pink papers and noisy pets. Can they uncover the missing word in time to save the show? Join Nate in this delightful adventure of logic and fun, where every clue counts and every moment is a race against time.

From the publisher

WHAT DOES A STRANGE, LONG, MADE-UP WORD SOUND LIKE?

Esmeralda came up with the perfect name for Rosamond’s pet concert. But she lost the pink paper where she wrote the word–and she can’t remember what it is. Nate the Great and his dog, Sludge, take on the unusual case, and they are soon braving pink papers and barking, oinking, and talking pets. Will Nate and Sludge find the word in time for the show to go on?
