Ottoline And The Yellow Cat

Ottoline lives with Mr. Munroe - hairy Norwegien bog person - and a retinue of servants while her parents travel the world adding to their collection of eclectic collectibles. When she is not supervising the doorknob polishers or the pillow fluffing team, Ottoline is a Certified Master of Disguise. This comes in handy when she and Mr. Munroe team up to track down the mastermind of a series of jewel thefts and lapdog nappings! Step into Ottoline's cartoon kooky world as she solves the first of three mysteries by clever cartoonist and children's author Chris Riddell.

Meet Ottoline Brown and her best friend, Mr. Munroe. No puzzle is ever too tricky for the two of them to solve.
