Detective Beans and the Case of the Missing Hat
Detective Beans and the Case of the Missing Hat
In this hilarious full-colour graphic novel, Detective Beans and the Case of the Missing Hat by Li Chen, readers are introduced to Cat Town's best kitten detective on a new and exciting adventure. When Detective Beans realises his favourite hat has gone missing, he quickly jumps into action to crack the case. Armed with his wit, determination, and a love for mysteries, Beans navigates the quirky and bustling streets of Cat Town in a quest to retrieve his beloved accessory.
Detective Beans is available 24/7 for all your mystery-solving and ice-cream taste testing needs, albeit with some limitations on school days and after bedtime. This time, the case is personal. The clues lead Beans through a maze of engaging and comical encounters. From philosophical pigeons that ponder life's greatest questions to dodgy street magicians with dubious tricks up their sleeves, each character adds a unique twist to Beans' investigation.
As if that weren't enough, the young detective also crosses paths with lounge singers who serenade away their secrets, chefs concocting suspiciously soupy dishes, and even a bewildering trash portal that seems to defy the laws of physics. Each stop along the way is filled with adventure, charm, and a touch of whimsy, ensuring readers of all ages will be entertained.
Despite the colourful cast of characters and the numerous red herrings, no one can outmatch Beans' crime-solving abilities. Yet, the question remains: Will Detective Beans manage to find his hat before his Mum expects him home for dinner? With the clock ticking and each clue more puzzling than the last, Beans must rely on his sharp instincts and newfound friends to solve the mystery.
Filled with vibrant illustrations and clever humour, Detective Beans and the Case of the Missing Hat is a delightful romp that captures the essence of playful sleuthing in a world where even the smallest detectives can crack the biggest cases. A perfect read for young readers and graphic novel enthusiasts, it promises an engaging and laugh-out-loud journey through the charming cat-filled streets of Cat Town.

About the Author
Li Chen was born in Beijing, China, and moved to New Zealand when she was five (with her parents, not as a solo child explorer, I don't think that's allowed). She's always loved drawing and has been working as a full-time comic artist since 2012. Detective Beans and the Case of the Missing Hat is her first graphic novel. When she's not drawing, Li likes to hang out with her cats or go on really long walks. Oh, and she drinks a LOT of tea.
