Beskrivning

Wind in the Willows meets Enola Holmes in this exciting, young middle–grade series from Newbery Honor–winning author Margi Preus. Follow clever detective Minerva Shrew as she pursues a mysterious invisible phantomMystery (MISS-tuh-ree: 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.In Book Two of the Shrew Detective series, Minerva Shrew is once again on the case, this time she must solve not one but two mysteries: Is there a frightening phantom on the loose? And who—or what—is critternapping Minerva’s woodland neighbors? Most importantly, is this to be a Big Mystery of Life and the Universe? Minerva and her dear friend Frank, a deer mouse, set off on an investigation that sends them plunging into snow tunnels, tiptoeing into scary lairs, careening down rivers, donning disguises, sneaking under porches, and dangling aloft from a raptor’s talons. Good thing they brought along plenty of snacks!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, at least eighteen square meals a day.Also Available:The Shrew Detective (Book #1)
