From the multiple award-winning author of the Bird Brain Books series, this lower grade mystery series is great fun for kids 7-11 years old. Evolved Publishing presents the second book in "The Pet Shop Society" series of mystery/detective stories centered around some young amateur sleuths and, of course, their parents' pet shop. Maddie Adams isn't your typical middle schooler. She'd much rather read about Amelia Earhart or Madame Curie than yet another fairytale princess finding her happily-ever-after with a dreamy prince. Yuck! She knows she'll change the world one day, just like her real-life heroes, so why not let that day be today? When a series of unexplained phenomenon start to take place around her home, Maddie turns to The Pet Shop Society for help. While her twin brother Mike is certain they're dealing with a ghost, Maddie is equally certain that there's a plausible-perhaps even scientific-explanation for the rash of missing objects, flickering lights, and other household mischief. With the boys too chicken to jump on the case, it looks like the girls will be handling this one. Join Maddie, Bree, and Nic for a sleepover gone very, very wrong, as they attempt to unravel the mystery of the Purrfect Crime. Be sure to check the rest of "The Pet Shop Society" series, including "Mike and the Dog-Gone Labradoodle," available now, and "Tyler and the Blabber-Mouth Birds," coming November 30, 2015.
