The Four Seasons Detectives

Who Stole Autumn?

A sweet little series for little readers, full of mysteries... one for each season!

Vol. 1 Who Stole Autumn?

In the Dancing Birch Forest, autumn has vanished! Squirrel Savino has lost his precious stash of nuts and acorns. It’s up to Bear Orlando and Bee Agata—the “Season Detectives”—to investigate. Clues lead them from a blue jay’s missing blanket to a fox’s stolen teapot… and someone swears they saw a ghost! The trail leads to a hidden staircase and a mysterious figure: Dormouse Giacomo, new to the forest and limping. He only took things to survive, not to steal. In the end, the animals show kindness: they help Giacomo settle in and even gift him the items he took. Mystery solved—with tea and teamwork!

Vol. 2  Who Disappeared in the Snow? 

It’s Christmas Eve in the Dancing Birch Forest, but something’s wrong: little raccoon Piero has vanished! Bee Agata jumps into action while Bear Orlando struggles to wake up from his winter nap. A full-scale search begins, with clues (a scarf, some marbles, odd footprints), a frozen lake, and a snowstorm that challenges every animal’s courage. At last, Piero is found: he’d fallen into a snow pit while looking for a place to keep playing. The forest breathes a sigh of relief—and celebrates with a joyful Christmas feast under the ancient tree. Friendship, bravery, and a touch of honey save the day once again!
