Book Details

When the world awakens to a new era of understanding between humans and animals, Mistymoto—a clever, compassionate spaniel—finds herself at the heart of Jacksonville’s most puzzling mystery. A string of burglaries has unsettled the peaceful Avondale neighborhood, leaving both people and pets on edge. But Mistymoto, with her keen nose and sharper instincts, is determined to uncover the truth. Joined by her loyal dad and a cast of unforgettable animal allies—including the wise Professor Owlington, the resourceful Mr. Kuma, and the ever-curious Professor Whiskerpaw—Mistymoto follows a trail of cryptic scents, secret tunnels, and shimmering clues beneath the city streets. As the Double M Detective Agency forms, the team discovers that the case is bigger than anyone imagined: a hidden society, a mysterious glowing wraith, and a band of clever thieves threaten to upend the fragile peace of their community. With every clue, Mistymoto must rely on courage, empathy, and the power of friendship to solve the case before the shadows close in for good. Will she unravel the secrets beneath Jacksonville—or will the city’s mysteries remain forever hidden? Perfect for readers who love animal adventures, heart, and a dash of suspense, Mistymoto’s Mystery is a tale where every pawprint leads deeper into wonder.
