Product Information
A detective in the wild. Precious Ramotswe gets a very special treat. She gets a trip to visit her Aunty Bee at a safari camp. On her first day in camp, a new lion arrives. But this is no average lion: Teddy is an actor-lion who came with a film crew. When Teddy escapes, Precious and her resourceful new friend Khumo decide to use their detective skills to help track him. They will brave the wilds of the bush--and its hippos and crocodiles--as they try to find where Teddy has gone.Product Identifiers

Reviews"Precious' keen sense of right and wrong will inspire readers; her powers of observation may inspire budding detectives. . . . The straightforward plot, easy vocabulary and compelling setting make this a perfect step up from early chapter books. That McCall Smith brings a great sense of fun to his prose heightens the appeal." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for The Mystery of Meerkat Hill "Written with the ease of a consummate storyteller, while Iain McIntosh's woodcuts . . . handsomely depict the terrain, people and animal life of Botswana." -- BookPage "A marvelous chapter book ideal for young readers, and, really, all fans of McCall Smith." -- Booklist (starred review) Praise for The Great Cake Mystery "Kids will love this kind and clever new detective.
