'Zany ... Even reluctant readers will have a blast' IRISH TIMES In a small town on the banks of Lake Laloozee lives the worlds greatest flamingo detective. His name is Fabio. Hes not tall or strong, but slight and pink. And hes very, very clever.

But when the most promising contestant Julia the jazz-singing hippopotamus goes missing, Fabio must put his thinking cap back on and solve the mystery! This new mystery series from Laura James, author of Captain Pug, will have animal lovers and would-be detectives in stitches. Perfect for fans of Claude, Foxy Tales and The Pink Panther!
