When Private I. Guana takes "the case of the missing chameleon," the fun begins! Chameleons are hard to find--they keep changing colors. So Private I. Guana hangs missing posters (in a variety of hues, of course!) and searches high and low, from the swamp through the forest to the Lizard Lounge, until he unexpectedly stumbles upon the clue to the mystery.
Filled with humorous wordplay and visual puns, this engaging adventure, inspired by the detective films of the 1940s, will tickle any reader's funny bone.

Glenda and Horace Pork-Fowler are a goose and a hog of large proportions, with appetites to match. So naturally, when they receive an invitation for a weekend of free gourmet food at Eatum Hall, Dr. Hunter's new inn, they don't hesitate to pack their bags. It's a bit curious that there's no one to greet them at the gloomy inn, and their absent owner does have an odd fondness for artwork depicting wolves.

After a year at the palace, Miri and her friends are ready to return home to their beloved Mount Eskel. But when the king orders Miri to start her own princess academy in a faraway swamp for three royal cousins, she is utterly dismayed. She must go on this journey alone, away from everyone she loves and everything she knows.

Miri's new students are not at all what she expected. Astrid, Felissa, and Sus are more interested in hunting, fishing, and wrestling than learning about etiquette and history, and they know next to nothing about their royal ancestry.
