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. <p/> 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 <i>Nate the Great Goes Undercover, </i>winner of the Los Angeles International Children's Film Festival Award. <i>Nate the Great Saves the King of Sweden </i>has been named one of the New York Public Library's 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing.
