The Midnight Mystery (Dotty Detective, Book 3)

Dot, Beans and McClusky the dog form their very own super-secret detective agency called the Join the Dots Detectives. This is their third adventure after 'Supersecret Agent' and 'The Pawprint Puzzle'. The children prepare to embark on a three day school trip on the Adventure Camp Nature Trail. Their excitement builds as they begin to speculate with their class mates about what the trip might involve. Some of the children become nervous at the thought of staying away from home while others can't wait to get away with their friends! Before they go, Dot enters McClusky into the local dog show. She starts training him but has to leave mum and the twins (Alf and Maisie) at home to continue whilst she goes on her school trip. Dot and Beans enjoy the Adventure Camp activities including tobogganing, a high ropes course, roasting marshmallows around a campfire with stories and zip wiring. Their mission begins when they suspect that Laura is trying to win the Adventure Camp Prize by sabotaging everyone else's chances. They manage to get to the bottom of it but they find out something quite unexpected! A mysterious, puzzling story for children aged 7+. 136 pages / Ages 7+ / Reviewed by Lucy Newton, teacher
