When an ambitious feline detective gets his paws on a mysterious treasure map, curiosity turns into a full-blown adventure! Li Chen’s bestselling Detective Beans series continues in this new graphic novel that will delight mystery fans and cat-lovers alike.
Detective Beans is set on being the world's most successful detective, but before his mom will let him solve any cases, he's going to need to clean his room first. But when he sets out to deliver some mail he received by mistake, a whole new world of adventure opens. After being handed a mysterious treasure map by an old sea captain, Beans sets out to connect the clues on a journey that winds through amusement parks, secret tunnels, and pirate ships. Together with his best friend, Biscuits, the fearless feline detective pieces together a mystery that nobody in Cat Town saw coming. Young readers will delight in the charming characters, clever plot twists, and positive spirit of curiosity and problem-solving that pack every one of these colorful and beautifully illustrated pages.

Li Chen was born in Beijing, China, and moved to New Zealand when she was five (with her parents, not as a solo child explorer, I don't think that's allowed). She's always loved drawing and has been working as a full-time comic artist since 2012. Her Detective Beans books have sold over 100,000 copies in Australia and have been indie bestsellers in the United States. When she's not drawing, Li likes to hang out with her cats or go on really long walks. Oh, and she drinks a LOT of tea.
