Ottoline and the Yellow Cat #1

Winner of the 2007 Nestlé Children's Book Prize Gold Award and the Red House Children's Book Award for Younger Readers.

The first book in Chris Riddell's much-loved, illustrated middle grade series, Ottoline.

Introducing Miss Ottoline Brown, an exceptionally inquisitive Mistress of Disguise, and her partner in crime, Mr. Munroe. No puzzle is ever too tricky for the two of them to solve!

Ottoline lives in a stylish apartment in Big City with a small hairy creature called Mr. Munroe. Together they look after the Brown family's eclectic collections--and dabble in a spot of detective work. So they are the first to the scene of the crime when a string of high-society dog-nappings and jewel thefts hits Big City. Ottoline (who luckily has a diploma from the Who-R-U Academy of Disguise) and Mr. Munroe go undercover--and expose an ingenious scam masterminded by furry feline crook, the Yellow Cat.

Ottoline and the Yellow Cat is a quirky mystery-adventure from star author and illustrator Chris Riddell.
