Octo, PI and the Mysterious Voice by Sarah McDavis
Summary: All was quiet at the ZAR&R for Octo, PI and her team. Then came the mysterious voice that shut down the nocturnal comedy night! Octo likes facts that stick and she sets out to uncover who the voice belongs to. It isn’t a ghost because ghosts don’t exist. She hopes. Along the way, Octo has to conquer her own fear while helping a pirate with their lost treasure, keeping an eye on the Ghost Hunters’s show host, and solving the case before residents start to panic!
Octo, PI is back for another adventure, along with trusty sidekicks Tank the chameleon and junior investigator Lightning the hummingbird. This time, there’s a creepy voice (maybe a ghost?) scaring animals at night. Octo has to get to the bottom of it, or else animals might be too scared to come to the ZAR&R for the help they need. By following the clues, gathering evidence, and questioning witnesses, Octo gets to the bottom of not one but two mysteries, and makes friends with a feathered pirate to boot. With a delicious combination of silly antics and real-life animal info, McDavis brings the characters to life through accessible text and humorous illustrative touches. Chapter book readers will be clamoring for Octo, PI’s next adventure!
