In this strange little book, Ottoline and her guardian (a small, hairy creature from a bog in Norway) stumble upon a missing pet mystery. They investigate and solve the crime. The text is enhanced by striking black-and-white illustrations, with judicious splashes of red, that tell much of the story while displaying Ottoline's genteel daily life. Readers will appreciate the heroine's independence and guile.
