Introducing Priya Mistry – corner shop super sleuth! She’s a Mistry by name, and mysteries are her game.
When some puzzling paw prints appear on the floor of her family’s corner shop, Priya grabs her mission kit and kicks off an investigation. Can Priya crack the case and uncover the mysterious creature before it eats all the food in the shop?
This is a fantastically fun and mischievously mysterious picture book that is perfect for little detectives!
