A Wild Detectives comic-puzzle mystery
Old Tessa is missing. Four reef kids have 80 puzzles and 20 comics to find her.
- Letter soup
- Word search
- Sudoku
- Logic grid
- 20 comics
Old Tessa, the whale-elder of Coral Cove, left a scrambled goodbye and vanished. Marlowe the hawksbill, Zip the mantis shrimp, Poppy the puffer, and Squib the octopus have to crack the case before the reef comes apart.
This is a comic-puzzle mystery for independent readers ages 8–12. The story moves in the comics. The clues hide in the puzzles.
Inside:
- 20 original black-and-white comics that tell one story
- 20 coloring pages
- 80 puzzles mixed through the chapters — letter soup, word search, sudoku, and logic grid
- Stretch words and reef facts on the puzzle pages, not a lecture
- A full-color cover and an easy-read black-and-white interior
Start anywhere in Wild Detectives. Every case is a complete mystery with a finished ending.
