Have you ever wondered what your dog gets up to when it runs off into the woods after a ball and doesn’t return for hours? Perhaps they’re busy solving mysteries like Peggy and her loyal sidekick, Stu the Shrew! This fun full-colour series is aimed at budding detectives aged 5 and up.

‘Peggy & Stu Investigate!’

This is the first in the three book series:

“Peggy the dog has a secret… every day, during her walk in the park, she scampers into Tangletree Wood and becomes a brilliant detective! No mystery is too tricky to solve for Peggy and her faithful sidekick, Stu. Join them for these two twisty adventures.

Case 1: Slime Time

Something strange is happening in Tangletree. Lots of the townsfolk are sleepwalking, and when they wake up, they’re covered in disgusting sticky slime! What could be causing these weird occurrences? Only Peggy and Stu can find out!

Case 2: Mud Race

It’s competition time and the Tangletree Mud Race Challenge is in full swing. But the course this year is incredibly difficult and dangerous! Could it have something to do with a runaway track-laying machine? It’s another case for Peggy and Stu!”

‘Peggy & Stu Play the Wrong Notes’

This is the second instalment in the series:

Peggy the dog has a secret… every day, during her walk in the park, she scampers into Tangletree Wood and becomes a brilliant detective! No mystery is too tricky to solve for Peggy and her faithful sidekick, Stu. Join them for these two twisty adventures.

Case 1: Trumpet Trouble

It’s the day of the Tangletree Spring Dance and the town band is desperate to play. But the trumpet-player’s trumpet has developed a life of its own and has run off into the forest! Can Peggy and Stu catch it, discover why it’s moving, and save the Spring Dance?

Case 2: Cake Crimes

Tangletree has a visitor: a pop-up bakery with the most delicious cakes. So delicious, the townsfolk can’t stop eating them. And so sweet, they’re giving everyone terrible toothache… Can it be a coincidence that a pop-up dentist has opened up as well?
