and lead pipe in her purse but is ironically “clue”-less!);
Bob the Southern Sheriff with his invisible dog; Inspector
Change with a proverb for every occasion; the Professor
(who’s always right, of course); Nancy and Jamie (clever
girl detectives); Kat, who’s afraid of germs and even
her own shadow; two tedious note-taking detectives;
and Gypsy Rose the Fortune Teller. As they scour the
Queendom in search of the royal ring, the chatty maids
follow the harried queen around while the devious butler
spouts suspiciously evil laughs every time a clue goes
awry. In this fast-paced, madcap mystery, you’ll find
delightful comedy for all ages in every quirky character...
