Forget Sherlock Holmes - this dog detective will have children in suspense [...] A clever pastiche of classic detective fiction - The Telegraph 5* review of Watts & Whiskerton: Buried Bones and Troublesome Treasure

The second instalment in an adorable new highly-illustrated series bursting with mystery and mischief for readers aged 5+!

Budding detective Watts is back in Little Gossip to visit the Whiskertons and attend the village fete bake off. He's looking forward to a fun weekend, but then disaster strikes when the ovens flood with batter and accusations of sabotage begin to fly!

Who's responsible for the cake catastrophe? And why would they want to ruin the competition? It's up to Watts and Pearl to solve the curious case. But can this dog and cat detective duo find the proof in the pudding?

From Waterstones Children's Book Prize shortlisted author-illustrator Meg McLaren. Purr-fect for emerging readers and fans of CLAUDE, HOTEL FLAMINGO and RABBIT & BEAR.
