The Case of the Missing Picnic

The Case of the Missing Picnic

The Mystery Detective C.O.R.P.S., Book One

Available now on Amazon!

When a forest picnic suddenly vanishes without a crumb in sight, five unlikely animal friends spring into action—and a detective team is born. The Case of the Missing Picnic marks the exciting debut of The Mystery Detective C.O.R.P.S., a charming series of woodland whodunits where teamwork, clever clues, and curiosity lead the way.

Join Chip the Chipmunk, Otis the Otter, Rascal the Raccoon, Penny the Panda, and Scully the Squirrel as they set out to crack their very first case and in turn form C.O.R.P.S. (which stands for Chip, Otis, Rascal, Penny, and Scully. Or is it Chipmunk, Otter, Raccoon, Panda, and Squirrel? Or is it something completely different, hilariously, no one seems to be quite sure!). With their unique skills and quirky personalities, these furry friends show that even the smallest sleuths can solve the biggest mysteries.

Perfect for young readers who love animals, adventure, and a good mystery, The Case of the Missing Picnic is the heartwarming and humorous beginning to a series destined to become a family favorite.

Mystery awaits in every shadow—will you join the C.O.R.P.S.?

Meet Scully the Squirrel

Scully is the high-flying scout of the C.O.R.P.S. team, always climbing, always observing, and always jotting down notes. With his trusty rock climbing harness, a coil of rope in hand, and his mom’s voice in the back of his mind reminding him to “be careful up there!”, Scully takes safety seriously—even when he’s darting through tree branches or scaling ledges to get the best view of a scene.

Decked out in an orange t-shirt, gray cargo shorts, black open-toed climbing shoes, and his ever-present harness, Scully is prepared for any vertical challenge. His signature messy mohawk flops in the wind as he zips from treetop to rooftop, keeping a keen eye out for suspicious activity. No detail escapes his attention—he’s always scribbling observations and sketching clue maps in his pocket-sized notebook.

Scully is fast, focused, and just a little bit cautious thanks to his overprotective (but loving) mom. He’s the eyes in the sky for the team, and with him keeping watch from above, C.O.R.P.S. always has the upper paw.

Meet Penny the Panda

Penny is a bubbly, wide-eyed young panda who loves everything cute, fun, and fabulously girly. With her signature pink overalls, matching oversized hair bow, and sparkly black sneakers, Penny radiates charm and childlike wonder wherever she goes. She’s silly by nature, often tripping over her own feet or giggling at the smallest things—but that’s just part of her clumsy charm!

Despite her constant giggles and goof-ups, Penny is always full of joy and curiosity. She adores snack time more than anything else, and her all-time favorite treat is a bamboo sandwich—crunchy, leafy, and oh-so-delicious. Whether she’s playing dress-up, twirling in front of a mirror, or dropping snacks in the most unexpected places, Penny is a lovable whirlwind of laughter and heart.

 

Meet Rascal the Raccoon

 

Rascal is the brains of the operation and the unofficial, steady leader of C.O.R.P.S. With his sharp mind, calm presence, and natural knack for strategy, the rest of the team looks up to him—even if he insists he’s “just one of the gang.” Though he struggles to see well in the dark (an ironic twist for a raccoon), Rascal always comes prepared with his trusty night vision goggles and powerful flashlight.

Dressed head-to-toe in black—from his t-shirt and cargo pants to his sturdy work boots—Rascal is always ready to slip into the shadows and chase clues others might miss. He actually prefers working in the dark, where he can focus best and feels most in his element.

Smart, resourceful, and a bit mysterious himself, Rascal is the glue that keeps C.O.R.P.S. on track and the one everyone turns to when the mystery gets tricky. With a quiet confidence and a flashlight in hand, Rascal proves that leadership isn’t about being the loudest—it’s about lighting the way.

Meet Otis the Otter

Otis may be an otter, but he’s not exactly a natural in the water. In fact, he’s a little nervous around lakes, rivers, and especially the deep sea (don’t even mention sea monsters—he’s sure they’re real!). But that never stops him from showing up when his C.O.R.P.S. team needs him!

With his trusty orange life vest securely fastened, his bright, patterned swim trunks, and his blue-tinted goggles always perched on his head “just in case,” Otis is ready for any mystery that might lead him into splashy situations. He’s the cautious one of the group—always checking the water for suspicious ripples and sticking close to the edge—but his heart is as big as the ocean he tiptoes around.

Otis brings thoughtful planning, lots of snacks, and a surprisingly sharp eye for detail to every mission. He might jump at bubbles, but when it counts, Otis dives in (with his vest on, of course) to help his friends solve the case.

Meet Chip the Chipmunk

 

Chip may be small, but he’s packed with courage, cleverness, and curiosity! As a proud member of the C.O.R.P.S., Chip thrives on solving mysteries and uncovering the truth—no matter how tricky or tiny the trail may be. With his trusty yellow t-shirt boldly declaring, “I’m not short, I’m fun-sized,” Chip tackles every case with confidence and charm.

He sports brown cargo shorts for maximum pocket space (perfect for storing snacks or tiny gadgets), and his black sneakers help him stay quick on his paws. One of his secret weapons? His ability to squeeze into the smallest nooks and crannies to hunt down clues no one else can reach.

Chip is loyal, energetic, and always ready for any adventure—especially if it means helping his C.O.R.P.S. teammates crack the case. He might be little, but he proves time and again that big things come in fun-sized packages.
