Book Synopsis

The detective lay in bed with his eyes closed. But he couldn’t sleep. He was thinking. He always thought best in bed. Especially with his eyes closed. Something is going on in the forest: one of the animals is saying nasty things about the other forest creatures. But no one dares make a statement to the police. Who is the culprit? Detective Gordon and his assistant Buffy must investigate! But this is a complicated case. The two police officers split the workload: Buffy questions the suspects, while Gordon stays in bed to think. Once the investigation is over, Detective Gordon plans to go fishing and eat all the cakes he wants to. And maybe then Buffy will be appointed Police Chief! But that won’t happen unless this case can be solved…



Trade Review
"This is a gentle story about supportive friendships and the importance of protecting vulnerable creatures, and it comes with a strong anti-bullying message. It’s a nice introduction for children to how they can use their own moral compasses to decide what is good and bad behaviour." -- Otago Daily Times

"Once again, Nilsson delivers a rare gem of a book."
