Synopsis: Meet Dino Detective and Awesome Possum: the sister-and-brother duo who are on the hunt for the next big case! Designed to engage early readers, this story combines charming characters with simple text, lively illustrations, and laugh-out-loud humor to help boost kids' confidence and create lifelong readers!

By veteran author-illustrator Tadgh Bentley comes a new series, chronicling the misadventures of a dynamic detective duo. When Grandma Thunderclaps's pizza is found with all the pepperoni missing, who's to blame? Dad's been at work, Grandma's a strict vegetarian, and everyone knows Plant couldn't be the culprit... So with a thirst for the truth, and a hunger for justice (and pizza), our heroes are on the case!

With full-color illustrations on every page, this humorous story is perfect for kids just beginning to read on their own. The short chapters, early vocabulary, and amusing illustrations make reading easy and fun! Exciting, easy-to-read books are the stepping stone a young reader needs to bridge the gap between being a beginner and being fluent.
