One title on his list:
Nate the Great by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat (Delacorte, $14).Read about all six books on Patterson's list.
Nate understands that you have to solve a few minor-league cases before you can move on to Sam Spade–style crime-stopping. Great stories and snappy, clear writing. Attentive readers can help Nate pick up clues along the way.
--Marshal Zeringue
