Margi Preus: The Shrew Detective: The Case of the Pilfered Pearls (Shrew Detective #1), Gebunden

Klappentext

Wind in the Willows meets Enola Holmes in this exciting, young middle grade mystery series from Newbery Honor--winning author Margi Preus and with art from Junyi Wu

Mystery: Something that is difficult or impossible to understand.

With a curious mind and a vast vocabulary (thanks to her wallpaper---pages of a discarded human dictionary), tiny Minerva Shrew would love nothing more than to solve the Big Mysteries of Life and the Universe.

Instead, inThe Case of the Pilfered Pearls , she's called upon to help her cousin Tenacity solve a mystery in the most dangerous of places: a human house. When a string of pearls goes missing, the human owner is sure a "dreadful rodent" has pilfered them---and now the lives of all Minerva's friends are at risk! Will Minerva find the true culprit before the exterminators arrive?

With wit and warmth, Margi Preus creates a charming woodland world filled with creatures both whimsical and nefarious (neh-FARE-ee-us: wicked or criminal), along with suspense, intrigue, and, thanks to Minerva's metabolism, plenty of snacks.
