by Thomas Lockhaven (Author), Grace Lockhaven (Editor)

Three Teens. One Missing Parrot. A Treasure Waiting to Be Found.

When Mrs. Cornthumper's beloved parrot, Thaddeus, is stolen, she reluctantly hires three unlikely detectives-Ripley, Gilly, and Alexis-to solve the case.

But this is no ordinary mystery.

Mrs. Cornthumper reveals that her late husband left behind a coded letter, and only Thaddeus knows the secret needed to unlock a hidden treasure.

From boats to pawn shops, the trio stumbles through a trail of clues filled with hilarious mishaps, surprising twists, and unexpected discoveries. Despite their quirks, Ripley and friends may just have what it takes to crack the code and save the day.

Can these unlikely detectives find Thaddeus and uncover the treasure before it's too late?

Fans of The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid-style humor will love this fast-paced mystery adventure.
