Il caso dell’elefante d’avorio – Me, Mum and Mystery vol. 3

Twelve-year-old Emily and her muddle-headed mom, Linda, leave their hectic life in London for Blossom Creek, a remote village where weird Uncle Orville has his cottage. This “cottage”, though, turns out to be the abandoned headquarters of a detective agency. Well…, it was abandoned until Emily turns over the “Closed” sign on the front door. Almost immediately, the would-be detectives’ first client appears, and the mother daughter team ends up solving a mystery with some of the most unlikely assistants.
A girl with astounding detective skills and a very special relationship with her mom – both with a passion for mystery!
Innovative artwork that combines illustrations with photographed backgrounds.
