About the Book

11-year-old Sam and his book club friends love adventure books and solving puzzles just like the famous detectives they read about. But do they have what it takes to save themselves when they fall head-first into a mystery of their own? Their neighbour, the famous Ornithologist, Professor Munia, has a knack for getting himself caught in tricky situations, especially when it comes to saving his cherished wetlands. When he goes missing, the police refuse to help. His only hope? The Book Club Detectives. The children find themselves in a dizzying maze of greedy construction lobbyists, staunch environmentalists and intrepid reporters, and realise that saving the environment is no child’s play. Sometimes real life runs parallel to fiction. Can their beloved books help them save the day?
