A Junior Library Guild Selection

A set-in-his-ways housecat has his routine upended by an enthusiastic new puppy with a nose for solving mysteries in this first “effervescent” (Publishers Weekly) book in a graphic chapter book series perfect for fans of InvestiGators and Narwhal and Jelly.

The Great Puptective by Alina Tysoe tells the story of Truffles the cat, who is the only pet in the house and enjoys his reign of peace and quiet, only exerting himself to find the best place to take a nice, long nap—preferably in a spot of warm sunshine. Then Poppy the puppy bursts onto the scene.

Poppy is loud, enthusiastic, excitable, and—worst of all—a puptective! She’s got an eye for crime and a nose to solve all mysteries that come her way…even though she’s not completely sure what a mystery is.

Truffles cannot let this intrusion stand. Poppy won’t be able to continue disrupting his precious me-time if she’s shipped to the North Pole! But could this irrepressible new companion be just what this grumpy cat needs?

About the Author

From the moment she was able to hold a pencil, Alina Tysoe was scribbling away and filling notebooks with doodles of dogs and comics about her family. Today, Alina is an illustrator, 2D animator, and author of What’s Up Beanie: Acutely Relatable Comics, a collection based on her popular webcomic by the same name, the picture book Emi Isn’t Scared of Monsters, and the graphic chapter book series The Great Puptective. She lives in Toronto with her husband, Mike, who makes regular appearances in her webcomic, and, infuriatingly, no dogs.
