Detective Matilda Paws & The Secret of Sailor’s Cove A magical middle-grade mystery full of clever clues, secret maps, and a fearless feline detective. When a weathered sea captain arrives in Brindleport with a century-old sailing log and a trembling paw, he brings more than just salt in his fur—he carries a secret the Whitmore family has tried to bury for generations. Matilda Paws , the town’s sharpest cat detective, is no stranger to mystery. But this case runs deeper than lost treasure.

As the truth begins to surface, Matilda must outwit ancient traps, decode a magical map, and confront the powerful Mayor Whitmore —before Brindleport’s future sinks with its past.
