Content

The most beautiful time of the year? Not so much! Twins Lukas and Marie are spending the lead-up to Christmas with their family and their pets Socrates, Paws and Breadroll. But nothing is going to plan: whether it's writing their wish lists, crafting, decorating, baking cookies, at the nativity play, at choir practice or at the Christmas market – important items are going missing every day. Is it possible they have been stolen? Could the crooks Pot and Lid be behind it all?

About the Series

A mysterious suitcase takes centre stage in Cally Stronk's new series for beginner readers. The suitcase contains everything a good detective needs: a magnifying glass, a map and much more besides. It soon turns out that the suitcase's contents have magical powers! And there is a clumsy pair of villains who are trying to get their hands on it too...

The Author

Cally Stronk loves to light up children’s eyes with her stories and her ukulele. She lives in Berlin and her favorite place is her small balcony, where she has planted beautiful flowers and herbs. That is where she finds inspiration for new stories.
