It's f te day in Alder's Fen, and the village green is alive with bunting, cakes and chaos.
When Tracie's prize sponge mysteriously vanishes, the maypole ribbons unravel, and the dog show ring collapses, Denney and Dixie know it's no ordinary f te. With clues piling up - odd pawprints, tufts of fur, and sabotage at every turn - the spaniel detectives must untangle the mystery before the day is ruined.
But this time, they aren't alone. Enter Fern and Finn, two posh cockapoos who'd rather show off than solve crimes, and Sarge, an ageing sheepdog with secrets of his own. Add a limping fox with a taste for cake, and the case quickly becomes the trickiest Denney and Dixie have ever faced.
Packed with humour, heart, and wagging tails, The F te Day Fiasco is a delightful middle-grade mystery about friendship, community, and the power of kindness. Perfect for readers aged 8-12 who love animal adventures and laugh-out-loud mysteries.
