Bella and Bosco: The Mystery of the Attic, Book One by Susan Pavan, M.A.Journ. (Paperback)

“Evidence before conclusions.”

When Bella, her cousin Benjamin, and rescue dog Bosco hear strange sounds coming from the attic, they begin a real investigation. They gather clues, write things down, test theories, and change their minds when the evidence points somewhere unexpected.

The story opens with a note from an older Bella, introducing the mystery about to unfold and the investigator at its center: Bosco.

Based on a real-life rescue dog, Bosco has often been misunderstood. But behind his difficult beginning is a loyal, observant dog about to become the chief investigator of Bosco P.I. and Associates.

Bella has been reading detective novels from a very young age. When strange sounds start coming from the attic, her love of mysteries inspires her to take on her first real case, with her cousin Benjamin and Bosco by her side.
