Olivia Sharp, cousin to Nate the Great, advertises her skills as an "agent for secrets" and takes on her first case. She has unbelievable amounts of money, freedom, and moxie, and the first-person narration sounds like a cross between Eloise and Junie B. Jones. The story is slight, but Nate the Great readers will find this an approachable next step toward reading independence.
