No mystery too big, no Op too wild! Learn to read and read to learn with Wild Detectives decodable fiction and nonfiction. 

Wild Detectives is a playful series of adventure-packed decodable stories and linked nonfiction decodable books written by the award-winning author Louise Park and illustrated by the talented Jules Faber (WierDo series illustrator).
