The Kingdom of Kilminkie - Paperback

by L. G. Walters (Author), Erna Van Der Merwe (Illustrator)

Deep in the magical forest of the Kingdom of Kilminkie live two playful, fluffy pups, Weeman and Ellie, who have more to do than just play--they're always ready for the next mystery to solve!

One bright and shiny day in the kingdom, ruled by the Greedy King and the Kind Queen, Weeman and Ellie are eagerly awaiting their usual biscuit delivery from the local McForrester Bakery. But when they discover that the bakery has been hit by a suspicious break-in and their treats won't be arriving, the pups spring into action.

Determined to uncover who stole the goodies, treats, and baking supplies, Weeman and Ellie follow clues through the forest with the help of their friendly neighbors--from General Floyd to the Kind Queen herself. Along the way, they uncover secrets about the kingdom's past, bring the community together for a joyful Kingdom Fete, and discover that friendship, teamwork, and kindness can solve even the biggest mysteries.
