Detective Book Club Mystery Omnibus #11 [1984]

The Nocturnals , a Kids' Indie Next Winner, is perfect for readers transitioning from Humphrey and Bad Guys to longer chapter books.

It is a fun-filled adventure series about three unlikely animals who solve unpredictable mysteries with friendship, teamwork, and humor.

Animals are disappearing without a trace—and it's up to Dawn, a serious fox, Tobin, a sweet pangolin, and Bismark, a pint-sized sugar glider, to find out why. With the help of a gentle wombat, a jittery jerboa, a band of coyotes, and some kooky bats, the Nocturnals journey to the depths of the earth and play a wacky, high-stakes game that will determine their survival.
