With the help of McClusky and new pal Beans, Dot sets about solving the mystery - plus the strange goings-on at home. Why do things keep disappearing? From the world’s favourite author, David Walliams – ten cautionary tales and a delightfully dreadful cast of characters; all in glorious FULL COLOUR!Dotty’s real name is Dorothy Constable Marie Louise but she very much prefers her alternative name Dotty. Dotty is just like any other ordinary girl, but one day she needed to move house as well as move to a new school. As Dotty moves to her new school, she is very concerned about being in this new unfamiliar place and with no friends, will she be able to enjoy her new education. Despite her concerns, Dotty makes lots of new friends yet some do not wish to be friends with Dotty. In particular one student called Laura, she and her friends are plotting an evil plan to win the school talent show in a terrible way. I like detective books and I like figuring out what the mystery might be and it like to join the dots detective gang. Who will stop at nothing to win the Ace Adventurers’ Prize? Why does Laura spoil Dot’s campfire story with a fearsomely fake fit of coughing? Who hides all the torches so the Moonlight Walk is cancelled? And why are the Circuit Run signposts pointing the wrong way?

When her new school organises a talent contest, Dot's pretty sure that class bully Laura is up to something. She's worried it could ruin everything for timid Amy - who's finally signed up to sing. Welcome to The Nothing to See Here Hotel! A hotel for magical creatures, where weird is normal for Frankie Banister and his parents who run the hotel. With the help of her best friend Beans and her dog McClusky, Dot loves to sniff out a good mystery...

Meet Dot, a lively little girl who's big on solving mysteries, in this fun and sparky chapter book about friendship, laughter and spreading a bit of kindness. As soon as Dotty Detective Super Secret Agent came through the letterbox my daughter whisked away this cute little book with its sparkly, spotty cover and started to read. She was hooked and couldn’t put the book down, “This is so interesting Mummy,” she said more than once and after finishing the first book she immediately asked if there was another one. I sneaked the second one, Dotty Detective The Paw Print Puzzle, into her bag when we went on holiday so she had a surprise read for the flight. Now she’s eagerly awaiting the third book, The Midnight Mystery, which will be published at the beginning of next year. We understand that buying kids books can be expensive.
