A thrilling Young Adult mystery that combines heart, humor, and high-stakes adventure!
Thirteen-year-old Wilma Wallaby has two major problems: her name sounds like a cartoon character, and her older brother Winston keeps shoving her into closets. But when she overhears a murder plot at the happiest place on earth-Castle Country theme park-suddenly being trapped in small spaces becomes the least of her worries.
What starts as a typical day of sibling survival becomes a race against time to prevent a wedding day murder.
Armed with her detective certification from the Institute of Internet Investigators and a backpack full of gadgets, Wilma must navigate treacherous family dynamics, decode cryptic clues, and outsmart dangerous adults-all while solving her first real case for neighbor Claire, who's searching for her long-lost father.
But when Wilma gets too close to the truth, she finds herself zip-tied in a murderer's hotel closet with poison crystals nearby and only hours before the deadly plan unfolds. With the help of Ryan, a charming boy in a tuxedo who believes in her abilities, Wilma discovers that sometimes the most dangerous plots come from the people you trust most.
Perfect for fans of Nancy Drew and Enola Holmes, this page-turner delivers:
- A brilliant, relatable protagonist who refuses to be a victim
- Authentic family dynamics that tackle serious issues with sensitivity
- An intricate mystery plot with genuine stakes and surprising twists
- The magical backdrop of a Disney-inspired theme park
- Themes of self-worth, standing up to bullies, and finding your voice
- Clean content appropriate for middle-grade readers
Castle Caper is the first book in the Wilma Wallaby series, where every case proves that being underestimated is a detective's greatest advantage.
From closets to cruise ships, Wilma Wallaby is hot on the case!
Trigger Warning: This book thoughtfully addresses sibling abuse and family neglect while empowering young readers with a protagonist who finds strength, purpose, and hope despite difficult circumstances.
