SHERLOCK BONES AND THE NATURAL HISTORY MYSTERY

Renée Treml

A fabulous graphic novel for younger children (ages 6 to 10)
A hilariously funny, action-packed mystery starring the intrepid Sherlock Bones and his trusty side-kick Watts. One's a Frogmouth bird skeleton and the other's a stuffed parrot, and together they're the greatest detectives in the whole Museum of Natural History. Can they find the missing blue diamond and save the Museum before it's too late? Quirky and engaging, this mystery story is just right for early readers. Renee Treml is the author and illustrator of several successful and awarded picture books for very young readers, including Once I Heard a Little Wombat, Ten Little Owls and Wombat Big Puggle Small. Renee has a degree in environmental science and love of natural history.
