Each page of the story includes a charming, comforting illustration ready for you to bring to life with colour – but that’s only part of the fun. Every scene is filled with vital clues to help readers solve the mystery and uncover what has happened to Whiskerton. Search for hidden objects, identify important characters and connect the dots to figure out what comes next. There’s plenty to explore, but if readers get stuck, they’ll find all the answers at the end of the book.
This cuddly mystery series is perfect for adults and kids aged 9+.
