Opal Watson: A Case Most Fowl

In this second book in the middle-grade mystery series based on the popular Pinna podcast, super sleuth Opal Watson teams up with a new friend to find a missing bird and unravels even more secrets about her family´s legendary history. Opal´s schoolmate Piper has lost a beloved pet: a bird named Blizzard that disappeared while her family was moving into a new house. Opal and Frank agree to track down Blizzard, even though it means teaming up with Piper´s older brother, Jake, a former bully who claims he has changed his ways. Meanwhile, Opal is still solving a mystery of her own: Who was Maude Watson--the woman whose picture she stumbled across in an old issue of the Chicago Defender newspaper--and how is she related to Opal? As Opal and her friends investigate both cases, they discover that Blizzard is more than just a missing pet--and she´s not the only one missing. Meanwhile, Maude´s case has Opal puzzling through a series of ciphers that take her from Chicago´s historic cemeteries to abandoned underground tunnels. Can Opal and her friends outwit the birdnappers while unraveling Maude´s past, or will these two cases prove to be too much?
