In their latest adventure, Pansy the poodle detective and her best friend Avery travel to Australia to visit all of the amazing animals there--especially the kangaroos and koalas. As they tour the Animal Sanctuary, learning all about its extraordinary inhabitants, they find out that a baby kangaroo named Kenny and a baby koala named Calvin are missing!

As they always do, Pansy and Avery go to work to solve the mystery. They follow the clues right to the animal thieves--two mischievous boys named Leo and Lucas who sold Kenny and Calvin to Harry Hercules for his traveling circus. Off Pansy and Avery go--by camel!--to find Harry.

In the end, the little creatures are returned to their home and the thieves are taught a lesson. To make up for their wrongdoing, Harry, Leo, and Lucas all work to make the Sanctuary a better place. Mr. Dawson, its director, is so pleased he throws a big celebration and sends Pansy and Avery on a special trip to the Great Barrier Reef.

This is book 9 in the Pansy the Poodle picture book series.
