Panic spreads through New Mouse City when a strange illness starts moving among its residents, and the investigation falls to a reporter with no medical training whatsoever.
The mystery unfolds through clues, false leads and comic interruptions, with curiosity doing most of the work. The outbreak is invention rather than health information, and real questions of that kind belong with a qualified professional. Clear English and strong illustration support make the book manageable for children reading alone.
Practical notes:
• A city-wide outbreak used as the engine of a comic mystery
• False leads and clues arranged for young readers to test
• Curiosity and cooperation shown solving the problem
• Plain English that supports steady vocabulary growth
Recommended for children aged seven and above, independent readers and teachers looking for humorous mysteries. Available through Boipoka.
