Chickadee Court Mystery series.
When all the ice sculptures intended for the town's annual Ice Carnival are stolen, eleven-year-old Alex Parakeet and his sleuth friends follow clues (water containing volatile chemicals; a dog that doesn't bark) to solve the case. This fifth series mystery is solid and satisfying, set against a background of holiday celebrations and enhanced with much humor and intrigue.
