A tiny ferry has stopped working. A hidden animal community is stranded. And Thomas and Leila have a brand-new mystery to solve.
When the Mouse Island Ferry suddenly refuses to go, the secret animal communities of New York City are left without their safest nighttime route to Mouse Island. Captain Crumb is worried, the passengers are waiting, and the little ferry will not start.
Detective Duke, Thomas, Leila, and Felicity the Peregrine Falcon are called to Whiskerwake Dock to investigate. At first, the clues point to Neville, a nervous squirrel who has been hiding nuts in all the wrong places. Then fresh branches near the ferry route make the hardworking Beaver Family look suspicious too.
But Leila's careful eyes, Felicity's view from above, and Detective Duke's gentle questions reveal that the truth is not so simple.
Neville's nuts, the beavers' branches, and Marina Muddlewhisker's love of shiny treasures have all caused part of the problem. No one meant to stop the ferry. Everyone simply needs to listen, understand, and work together.
The Mouse Island Ferry Mystery is a warm and gentle children's mystery adventure about friendship, teamwork, kindness, and learning to listen before deciding what is true. Perfect for young readers aged 5-8, this cosy chapter book is full of animal friends, riverside clues, funny misunderstandings, and a joyful journey to Mouse Island.
A delightful read-aloud story for children who love animals, mysteries, hidden worlds, and kind-hearted adventures.
