The Petectives: The Grilled Cheese Caper

 

This was a cute, goofy read that will keep young readers guessing. As both a mystery fan and dog person, I was drawn to this one by the whimsical cover showing the two Petectives, Purrlock and Marlowe. Purrlock is a hoot, seemingly equal parts obsessed with supposed nemesis Meowierty and food. The illustrations are fun and help share some of the backstory, including Purrlock’s role on the football team. Marlowe sorts it all out while reminding Purrlock that his obsession with Meowierty isn’t quite what he remembers. Readers will have fun following this pair around.

Note: I have no clue when or even if this one will be available. The original publication date was March 2025 but has been changed to 2080. Yes, '80. As a result, I'm posting no names here of publisher until I receive some clarification.
