Nancy Spector, Monster Detective 1: The Case of the Missing Spot

$27⁹⁹

This hilarious and fast-paced full-colour graphic novel, perfect for young middle-grade readers and fans of Waffles and Pancake and The Mighty Jack, follows an enthusiastic young detective up and down her monster-filled town in search of the Invisible Man's invisible dog.

Description

The Invisible Man has a problem. His dog, Spot, is missing. Complicating matters, Spot is also invisible. So the Invisible Man turns to Nancy Spector for help. Nancy eagerly takes the case, and she and her grumpy best friend, a (visible) dog named Jinx, dive into the investigation.

As they follow Spot's trail, they find themselves:

Riding dragons
Searching the monster diner—because all dogs like hot dogs
Fleeing from vicious chipmunk unicorns
Shopping in a store that is a gelatinous candy cube named Bob
Paying a visit to Nancy's vampire friend Eugene's hamster's funeral

Every time they think Spot is right around the corner, things get more and more confusing. But Nancy knows that to a great detective, there is no such thing as a bad clue. And Nancy knows she's a great detective. Now she just needs to crack the case...
