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.”

About the authors

Marjorie Weinman Sharmat

Born in Portland, Maine, in 1928, MARJORIE WEINMAN SHARMAT dreamed of becoming a writer. Little did she know that she would be the author of more than 70 books for children of all ages. Another of her childhood dreams, that of becoming a detective, has also been realized in her most popular NATE THE GREAT series, begun in 1972.
Many of Sharmat's books have been Literary Guild selections and chosen as Books of the Year by the Library of Congress. Several have been made into films for television, including NATE THE GREAT GOES UNDERCOVER, winner of the Los Angeles International Children's Film Festival Award. NATE THE GREAT SAVES THE KING OF SWEDEN has been named one of the New York Public Library's 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing.

Praise for The Green Toenails Gang

"Step aside, NATE THE GREAT! You now have stiff competition in your sleuthings! Meet OLIVIA SHARP, girl detective extraordinary! She rides in a chauffeured limo and winds a feathered boa around her neck for special cases. Clever illustrations reinforce the undaunted spirit of this personable heroine."--Children's Book Review Service

"Olivia is a refreshingly intelligent female protagonist."--Booklist

"Fast-moving, lighthearted, genuinely funny, and easily read, this should be a winner."--Kirkus Reviews
