Wanda T. Grimsby, the city's top detective/adventurer (who works on a candy salary) has solved the most stupendous of crimes. Her boss, Big Bittions, has assigned her another mission: Wanda must track down two bizarre and endangered animals before they find each other and create disastrous results. Along the way she meets some strange characters and must tackle some extraordinary tasks. Will she complete her mission? Will the animals be lost forever? Is the world safe? It will take some clever thinking and help from a mysterious forest person who brews strange stews, but Wanda's on the case!
