A funny and thrilling mystery from the author of The School for Talking Pets and Birdbrain

There are some things about Seagulls Nest that 11-year-old Skye Starling likes:

  • Egg sandwiches (tick)
  • Admiral Mittens (her cat), who's always trying to get her attention (tick)
  • Writing mystery stories about star detective Red Fox (tick)
  • Spying on suspicious townsfolk with her new friend Bailey (tick)
  • The Annual Squawk Awards (tick)

And there are some things she doesn't like at all:

  • Winston, the Mayor's chicken (he pecks!) (cross)
  • Her freshly finished novel being stolen (cross)
  • The crimes in her novel happening in REAL LIFE! (cross)
  • Everyone in the town acting suspiciously (cross)
  • Being the only one who can find the real criminal! (cross cross cross!)

Will Skye uncover the culprit in time to save the town?

About the Author

Kelli Anne Hawkins has worked as a journalist, graphic designer, administration assistant and mystery shopper -- she's even had a job where she just had to remove staples! But all along, her love of books and libraries and reading and daydreaming should have told her she was meant to write books. Some of her favourite things are airports, velvet jackets, mangoes, the colour yellow, the satisfaction of crossing stuff off lists and staring at the ocean. She lives in Newcastle, NSW, with her two children, who are now taller than she is and far better at maths.
