Prologue: The Case Begins
The first snowfall of the season had arrived, turning the world into a blanket of white. The trees shimmered with frost, the rooftops were dusted in snow, and the crisp air carried the scent of pine and winter magic.
Charlie, a small but adventurous Jack Russell terrier, bounded through the fresh snow, his tail wagging wildly. Winter was his favorite time of year. Everything smelled different, the ground crunched beneath his paws, and most of all—he got to wear his favorite red jacket.
It wasn’t just any jacket. It was warm, cozy, and made him feel like the bravest detective in the world. And in Charlie’s mind, every day was a mystery waiting to be solved.
Look Inside: Charlie’s Adventure
But today, something felt off.
As he shook the snowflakes from his fur, a cold breeze brushed against his back. Colder than it should have been. He looked down and—His red jacket was gone!
Charlie’s heart skipped a beat. He spun in a circle, his nose twitching frantically. Where had it gone? He had been wearing it just a moment ago. Had the wind carried it away? Had someone taken it?
This wasn’t just a lost jacket.
This was a case.
And Charlie was on the job.
