Octo, PI and The Missing Egg (Zar&R #1)


Here is Sarah McDavis's "Ocot, PI and The Missing Egg." It's an early reader, and its the first novel in her Zar&R series.

["Octo, PI, and the Missing Egg is the first in a mystery series for 7 to 10 year olds. Octo, an octopus, is the number one case solver at the Zoological and Aquatic Rehabilitation and Research Center, or the ZAR&R for short.

When Mama Goo's egg goes missing, she heads to Octo for help. With her team of Lightning, a hummingbird, and Tank, a chameleon, Octo takes the case and begins the search to find the egg before sundown."]

This book is not only cute as hell (there are little octopus suckers on each chapter number, on a few of the page edges--plus, the title is punny!) but it also has all kinds of extra information. There are sight words/vocabulary words in here that are bolded, and then the definition in on a sticky note in the margins. The margins also have character cards that introduce each character, their species, how long they've been at Zar&R, their favorite food, and more.

The mystery was adorable. The characters were a riot. The universe is unique (and it comes with a map). 

I can't wait for more!!
