Unicorn Detective 1: Who Stole the Mermaid's Purse? (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9781223189697)

A top-secret case. A mythical mystery. And a crime-fighting unicorn detective with no patience for nonsense (or split ends).

Detective Spark Bubblewand takes pride in two things: his flawless mane and flawless case record. He thought he'd seen it all working at the Mythical Bureau of Investigation. But when a fairy causes chaos and a mermaid's magical purse goes missing, Spark finds himself up to his horn in a case that's stranger than a sasquatch's shower schedule.

Spark and his big-footed rookie partner Squatch will have to follow the clues and outsmart the Rainbow Realm's cleverest creatures to crack the case--before it's too late.

Mystery, mayhem, and magical mishaps await in this laugh-out-loud adventure that proves one thing: Not all heroes need capes. Some just need a little bit of magic . . . and lot of glitter.

Who Stole the Mermaid's Purse? is the first in an illustrated chapter book series featuring a clever unicorn detective, his big-foot partner, and mysteries rooted in global folklore and mythology. The next two in the series - one featuring leprechauns and the other werewolves-- will follow in Fall 2026 and Spring 2027.
