Oscar and his sister, Arabella, are starting their first year at the Mammoth Academy. Oscar isn’t fond of schoolwork, but he loves learning outdoor sports and becoming best friends with Fox. Things are going wonderfully, until the cook’s oranges are stolen and Oscar spots some MYSTERIOUS TRACKS.
Whatever made the MYSTERIOUS TRACKS has only two feet. Could it be those wild and dangerous animals called humans?
NEAL LAYTON has illustrated many books for young readers, including Oscar and Arabella and That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown. He has also worked on a lettuce farm, in a chocolate factory, in a teapot factory, and delivered papers. He lives in England. Visit him on the web at www.neallayton.com.
“Silly jokes, a swift-moving plot, and a dose of adventure combine to create a book with strong appeal for readers of beginning chapter books.”—Booklist
“They will surely agree with Professor Snout’s review: ‘This book gets 10/10!’”—School Librarian
