About This Book
In Kidnap at the Catfish Cafe, Minnie's detective agency gets its first case. It starts with a stray cat, but soon she's investigating a crime wave, and is hot on the trail of a thief who would steal anything -- even a cat! In Mary Moon is Missing, Minne and her cat Max are on the case when a valuable racing pigeon disappears. The Pigeon Prize Race is this Saturday, and time is running out. Can they rescue the stolen pigeon in time?About the Authors or Illustrators
Patricia Reilly Giff began her life in Brooklyn, New York surrounded by books! As a child Giff would prefer to have her nose in a book imagining the life of each character rather than playing with the other children. Some of her favorite childhood reads included Little Women, The Secret Garden, and the Black Stallion books, the Sue Barton books, and the Nancy Drew series. So it's no surprise that she knew early on that she wanted to be a writer.
