Nina, Pedro's puppy, has an extraordinary sense of smell that allows her to find lost objects and solve mysteries. One day, accompanying Pedro to school, she discovers that all the books have disappeared. Who could have stolen them and why? Nina becomes the detective in charge of solving this enigma, demonstrating that her talent goes beyond her keen sense of smell. This book is a tribute to reading, libraries, and the special relationship between a child and her puppy.
Dame Julia Catherine Donaldson is a British writer and playwright, and the 2011–2013 Children's Laureate. She is best known for her popular rhyming stories for children, especially those illustrated by Axel Scheffler, which include The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, Stick Man, and Superworm. She originally wrote songs for children's television but has concentrated on writing books since the words of one of her songs, "A Squash and a Squeeze", were made into a children's book in 1993. Of her 184 published works, 64 are widely available in bookshops. The remaining 120 are intended for school use and include her Songbirds phonic reading scheme, which is part of the Oxford University Press's Oxford Reading Tree. In January 2025, Donaldson became Britain's best-selling author, surpassing J.K. Rowling by some 600,000 sales.
