The Pinky Wilkins Detective Series

Book 1

Penelope “Pinky” Wilkins has a brain that won’t shut up.
It chatters and zigzags and spins in circles before breakfast, usually while she’s trying to find her left shoe. But when a mysterious stray cat with a frayed pink ribbon shows up at the old park fountain, Pinky’s whirlwind thoughts focus in on one thing: this cat is not just a stray.

Armed with her sketchpad, an overactive imagination, and the support of her toast-wielding dad, Pinky sets out to uncover the story behind the cat’s charm necklace—and maybe discover a little more about herself along the way. But the more she draws, the stranger things seem. Was it really just a coincidence? Or is this her very first mystery case?

Full of heart, humor, and a dash of wonder, this is the story of a girl who sees the world a little differently—and learns that sometimes, the best clues aren’t found in textbooks, but in the questions no one else thinks to ask.
