Now it's missing one small, suspicious dog.Nell loves visiting her Aunt Josie - even if the stairs go sideways and one room is only called "Oh, Not That One." But today something is wrong. Pickles, Aunt Josie's patchy little dog, has vanished. And Pickles is never quiet. He barks at the broom. He barks at the slippers. He once barked at a cabbage for twenty minutes. Most of all, he barks at teapots.The only clue? A trail of glitter winding deep into the house.Armed with a candle, a biscuit, and a wooden spoon ("One never knows"), Nell and Aunt Josie follow the sparkles through the Jam Pantry, the Button Room, and passages hidden behind the walls - where they discover Pickles has been keeping secrets of his own.The first book in the Aunt Josie's Curious House series, The Missing Pickles is a warm, funny mystery for readers ages 6-9 who love eccentric characters, secret passages, and dogs with strong opinions.
