Paws on the Mayflower
When hope sails across the ocean...
The Story
When a tiny wooden compass in the Clue Crate begins to glow, Teddy and Copper know it's time for another adventure. 'Sniff. Scout. Figure it out!' takes them to the deck of the Mayflower in 1620.
Aboard the crowded ship, a young girl named Abigail has lost something precious — her beloved bird, Pip. As storms rock the ship and uncertainty fills the air, finding one small bird seems impossible.
With courage and determination, our doodle detectives search the ship from top to bottom. Through dark passages and during fierce storms, they discover that sometimes hope comes in the smallest packages.
Can Teddy and Copper reunite Abigail with Pip before their time runs out? Join them on an adventure about bravery, hope, and the power of never giving up.
