Danica dela Torre, Dream Detective

A middle-grade detective uncovers the hidden depths of her supernatural powers in this enthralling paranormal mystery series.

Danica dela Torre, Dream Detective has a new case on her hands—and this time, it's personal. Danica has lost her relikaryo, a powerful amulet that keeps her safe from evil spirits. With the help of her best friends and fellow kid detectives, Jack and Kennedy, she follows the trail into a parallel realm where she hopes a ghostly presence on the other side will help reunite her with the precious talisman.

Instead, she encounters the mysterious Detective Gray, author of her favourite investigator's handbook—and Dani's hero. The master sleuth needs Danica's detecting skills to solve another mystery, one with deep roots in Filipino lore. As Danica pursues her biggest case yet, she discovers more about her family's deeply buried past, their connections to the shadowy detective, and her newfound ability to probe people's memories by stealthily infiltrating their dreams.

A perfect blend of the detective and ghost-story genres with a generous dash of Filipino mythology, this thrilling follow-up to Danica dela Torre, Certified Sleuth explores evolving friendships, family ties, and the winding path of self-discovery.
