Missing Map: Upton Charles-Dog Detective

by Ginger Marks (Illustrator)

It's a beautiful spring morning and Upton, Watson and the rest of the Charles family are going to the festival in the park. Everyone is looking forward to the artists and crafters showing off their creations; the food vendors serving tasty treats from all over the world; the flower club members presenting their colorful flower arrangements and the local farmers with their carts filled with fresh produce. All in all a perfect day-that is, until a very rare treasure map disappears from the library's display case. The Chief of Police asks the entire Charles family to help find the missing map, including Upton, who is a Bichon Frise (that's "BEE-shon free-ZEY"), a little white dog, with well honed canine detective skills and Watson, his feline assistant.
Apply your own deductive skills to solve the mystery of the pilfered pirate guide to treasure in Missing Map .
