Detective Gordon: A Case with a Bang by Ulf Nilsson, Julia Marshall (trans.) & Gitte Spee (illus.)
Set in a friendly forest of lovable animal characters, A Case with a Bang is as delightful as its three predecessors – full of humour, wit and a dash of philosophical whimsy. Part mystery, part adventure, this quirky tale of friendship sparkles with characters that are intelligent, thoughtful, and compassionate.
The indefatigable Detective Buffy sets out to discover who wrecked Badger’s rubbish bin as Detective Gordon (now retired) trains a keen squirrel to assist in the case. Determined to find the truth, Gordon and Buffy carefully weigh the facts while philosophising over delectable cakes.
I’m saddened this is the final book in this wonderful series. Each is written to stand alone, but once you’ve read one you’ll want to devour them all!
With gorgeous, full-colour illustrations on almost every page, this brilliant read-aloud chapter book will entertain the whole family; highly recommended for independent readers ages 7+.
