Every year again: An exciting crime story to get caught up in by Sarah Bosse, based on an idea by Jo Pestum – filled with suspense and reading fun throughout Advent. Aunt Thea's house has been broken into – right in the middle of Advent, when Mikke and Noah are supposed to watch over the house and the guinea pigs. And it gets worse: The burglars left the terrace door open, and one guinea pig has escaped! The search for the missing pet leads the friends to an enchanted house at the edge of the woods. Does the eccentric neighbor know more than he admits? And what is Noah's older sister hiding, as she has been acting strangely lately? Can the friends catch the burglars and find the lost guinea pig before Christmas? Each day brings a new clue for all the detectives: The Christmas mystery in 24 chapters is perfect for independent reading from age 10, but also great for reading aloud during cozy family reading hours in Advent. Beautifully illustrated by Dagmar Henze. Every year again: with the Christmas mystery through Advent • Three bright friends as investigators and a missing pet create excitement and identification potential • Day by day, following the trail of the mystery • With perforated pages for easy separation.
