Dani is a well-loved, happy child but even happy children get lonely. What she really wants is a friend. Someone she can play with that is her age. She also wants to be like her Uncle Joey, the sheriff. His job sounds exciting. She wants excitement, too. Maybe she can be a detective just like him and solve mistrees. (Someone should tell her that it is spelled, “mysteries”.)

I’d love to tell you about this mysterious character, but then it might ruin part of the story. So you will just have to wait. Nope. I cannot tell you. I know, I know, you really want to know, but that is my final word. No, bribing me with cookies won’t help. Well, maybe if they are Mrs. Abbott’s famous chocolate-chip cookies… Wait, no. It’s a secret. I can’t tell a secret. Can I?
