This new book follows Octo, P.I., the number one case solver at the ZAR&R, in her most mysterious case yet. The animal residents think there’s a ghost in their midst—but Octo, P.I. isn’t convinced. The spooky voice shuts down the nocturnal comedy night, but Octo likes facts that stick and she is determined to follow them. Along the way, she has to conquer her own fear while helping a pirate with their lost treasure, keeping an eye on the Ghost Hunters’s show host, and solving the case before residents start to panic!
