Dear Detective Alora - Paperback

by Nita Margaret James (Author)

Alora may seem quiet, but her mind is anything but.

Shy on the outside, yet brilliantly observant on the inside, she spends her days gathering clues about the world like a budding scientist. But Alora's real detective work begins when she falls asleep-because in her dreams, mysteries come alive.

Named after the African word for "my dream", Alora possesses a rare gift: the clues she collects during the day reappear in her dream-world at night, rearranging themselves into new patterns that reveal hidden answers. When a puzzling event unfolds at the local museum, Alora must rely on her careful observations, quick mind, and extraordinary dream-visions to uncover the truth.

This book is the first in an exciting detective series that follows clever, curious Alora as she solves mysteries by blending real-world science with the magic of her dreams. Young readers will love joining Alora on her imaginative adventures-and discovering that quiet thinkers often make the very best detectives.
