The case begins
Founders’ Day is coming, but Whiskerville’s silver Mayor’s Medal has vanished from its glass box inside a locked Town Hall. The windows are shut, the coin tin is untouched, and only a tiny blue-headed pin has been left behind.
Nina follows the clues with Emily’s notebook, Paris’s noisy theories, and a little accidental help from Candy. When the medal mysteriously returns, polished and tied with a neat bow, Nina knows the case is not over. Solving it will lead to a quiet truth about kindness, courage, and the importance of asking how someone wants to be celebrated.
Whiskerville’s finest
A gray-and-white cat with bright green eyes and a nose for trouble. Nina notices the small, quiet things: the way the air feels, a smell that drifts where it shouldn’t. She follows every clue until she finds the truth.
Whiskerville’s librarian and Nina and Paris’s dearest friend. She likes her mornings quiet and her notebook close, ready to jot down every clue with her trusty yellow pencil.
A round little tortoiseshell kitten with more energy than she knows what to do with. Paris insists that a good detective never sleeps in, even when she absolutely just did.
For children ages 5–9 who love solving clues
Illustrated short chapters make this a comfortable next step beyond picture books and an easy family read-aloud.
A pin, a set of keys, and a neatly tied bow all appear before Nina connects them.
The mystery creates curiosity and suspense without frightening scenes or a heavy mood.
The case opens a gentle conversation about telling the truth, apologizing, and listening to others.
Eight tiny symbols hide in the pictures, waiting for careful readers to decode Nina’s message.
Inside the book
Welcome to
A cozy town of cobblestone streets and flower-filled gardens, where the warm smell of fresh bread drifts down the lane and a robin sings on the edge of the fountain.
It looks like an ordinary, quiet place. But in Whiskerville, mysteries have a way of turning up when you least expect them, and every single one begins with a clue.

★★★★★“The purr-fect sweet detective story! This is a simple, evenly paced story and like every good detective tale, it follows a trail of little clues that ultimately solve the mystery. Along the way, it also highlights the importance of kindness and honesty.”
★★★★★“Once again, the detective trio jumped into a mystery head first to figure out what happened to the town cupcakes! Despite them having very little time to solve the missing cupcake mystery, that did not deter them. They were determined to find those desserts no matter what it took!”
★★★★★“What started as a simple mystery about missing cupcakes turned into such a sweet story about friendship, community, kindness, and learning to look beyond what first appears obvious. I loved watching Nina work through the clues instead of simply jumping to conclusions.”
