Millie is twelve years old, and a schoolgirl detective; she is good at solving problems for her friends and family. In this story, her younger brother Dave realises that his new mobile phone is missing. Someone accuses his best mate Joe of stealing it, but Millie and Dave don't believe that. If the mystery is not solved, Joe will be in big trouble, branded a thief, and one or both boys may not be allowed to appear in Hilldown School's Winter Show. Will Badger the school bully be somehow involved? Might Boris the dog be able to help? And will Millie collect the clues and track down the thief in time? This is a stand-alone detective story, but there are brief references to Millie's first case: Millie the Detective and the Diamond Ring. Themes include friendship, loyalty, family and the resolution of bullying.

As Winnie and Charlie came closer to the old hunting cabin they saw that it had grown up and the door was ajar, windows were broken and it looked like there was something or someone moving in the house. The girls felt a little twinge of fear as they carefully walked on the porch. They reached for the door to open it the rest of the way and heard someone say “What is your business here?” The girls then started to shake and ran off the porch. They stopped running when they got to the road and turned and looked at the old place.

Hi. I’m Sherman: the pet mouse of the world’s most famous, absent minded poet. Yeah, I know, I’m the mouse, not the poet. The reason for my being the teller is that my master is just focused enough to write whimsical poems. Him remembering entire stories? No way. He is too absentminded to remember chapters, let alone entire tales. That being said, my master and I have had many great adventures together, which I am going to share with you. So sit back, relax, and don’t drift asleep as I tell you our tales.
