Klappentext

A top-secret case. A mythical mystery. And a crime-fighting unicorn detective with no patience for nonsense (or split ends). Detective Spark Bubblewand takes pride in two things: his flawless mane and flawless case record. He thought he'd seen it all working at the Mythical Bureau of Investigation. But when a fairy causes chaos and a mermaid's magical purse goes missing, Spark finds himself up to his horn in a case that's stranger than a sasquatch's shower schedule. Spark and his big-footed rookie partner Squatch will have to follow the clues and outsmart the Rainbow Realm's cleverest creatures to crack the case--before it's too late. Mystery, mayhem, and magical mishaps await in this laugh-out-loud adventure that proves one thing: Not all heroes need capes. Some just need a little bit of magic . . . and lot of glitter. Unicorn Detective is an illustrated chapter book series featuring a clever unicorn detective, his big-foot partner, and mysteries rooted in global folklore and mythology. Who Stole the Mermaid's Purse? is the first title in the series, and the next two in the series - one featuring leprechauns and the other werewolves-- will follow in 2027.
