'Forget Sherlock Holmes - this dog detective will have children in suspense [...] A clever pastiche of classic detective fiction' - The Telegraph 5* review
An adorable new highly-illustrated series bursting with mystery and mischief for readers aged 5+!
Watts doesn't think he's got what it takes to be a great detective like his parents. So when they jet off on their next case, he decides to take a holiday to Whiskerton Manor instead.
But there, Watts befriends Pearl Whiskerton, a curious cat with a nose for mysteries, who persuades him to help her investigate a series of strange goings on at the manor . . .
Who's been upending the precious rose bushes? And where did the amazing dinosaur bones dug up on the grounds come from?
It looks like the two things might be connected. But can this dog and cat detective duo solve the mystery?
From Waterstones Children's Book Prize shortlisted author-illustrator Meg McLaren, WATTS & WHISKERTON is purr-fect for emerging readers and fans of CLAUDE, HOTEL FLAMINGO and RABBIT & BEAR.
This is Book 1 in the Watts & Whiskerton Series. See all Watts & Whiskerton books here.
