A mystery is afoot in 1931 Milwaukee... and it smells like cheese
When every wheel of cheese in Milwaukee suddenly vanishes-right before the big Cheese Parade-11-year-old Maxine Pickle and her trusty ferret, Sherlock, leap into action. Armed with a notebook, a snack-loving sidekick, and a nose for clues, Max uncovers a trail of secret cheese crates, butter ropes, and a suspicious creamery with something to hide.
Can one brave girl (and one extremely sneaky ferret) stop the greatest cheese heist in Wisconsin history? Or will Milwaukee's dairy dreams be shipped off to... Chicago?
Packed with laughs, clever twists, and ferret-powered detective work, this hilarious adventure is perfect for young readers who love mysteries, mischief, and a little extra mozzarella.
