Illustrated in full color and packed with character and humor, this
is the fifth whodunnit mystery in the awardwinning Detective Gordon
series, fun to read alone or aloud. A Case with a Bang is the final
book in the series of funny detective stories for early readers set
in a friendly forest in which two determinedly fair
police-retired-toad Gordon and the indefatigable mouse Buffy-solve
the mystery and stop regularly to eat cake. Night brings a horrible
humming, scraping sound in the forest. Someone has wrecked the
badger's trash can. Later, three large creatures are spotted up on
the mountain. Detective Buffy discovers this seemingly small case
really is a dangerous mystery-she comes back from her first
investigation flat as a gingerbread, rolled over by something huge
and terrifying. Back at the station, retired Detective Gordon is
training a new young police assistant, and the cakes have run out
in the forest bakery! While all the animals cower at the police
station, Buffy remembers Gordon's stories about trolls. Is it
possible they do exist? Taking Gordon's advice about how everyone
thinks differently, she finds a way to communicate with the giant
creatures-perhaps not so terrifying after all. The book leaves
readers with a memorable Gordon message: Everyone thinks
differently, strangers are welcome, cakes for everybody! This final
instalment in the awardwinning Detective Gordon series is a
multi-layered philosophical story about good detective work
involving all, kindness to newcomers and doing the right thing.
Winner of multiple awards and accolades, Detective Gordon is a
mystery series with depth-perfect for reading alone for emerging
readers, wonderful for reading aloud together as a chapter book.
Translated from the Swedish edition by Julia Marshall.

In fairy tales, the wolf's cry makes people shudder. They've been hunted, captured. But the wolf carries a wild magic - a magic that once restored a barren land.
When wolves disappeared from Yellowstone Park in the 1930s, the ecosystem started to collapse. Enormous herds of elk swarmed the plains, bears starved, rabbit families shrunk and birds flew away to new homes. Plants vanished, trees withered and rivers meandered.
Until in 1995, wolves returned to the park and everything began to change for the better. This is the story of their homecoming.
With atmospheric storytelling from Catherine Barr and breathtakingly beautiful artwork by Jenni Desmond, this inspiring true story shows that every species plays an important part in protecting our planet.
