    About this ebook

    Three wooden puppets go in search of their missing parents and retain the services of a private detective agency run by Dorothy, blind Scarecrow and Scarecrow's seeing eye-dog,Toto. Together, they find themselves pitted against Pirates of the Caribbean inside the belly of wooden whale floating on the water..

    Enter an unscrupulous pair of characters who, realizing the enormous worth of these rare, beautifully carved candlesticks, kidnap them. To find their parents, the children puppets turn to a private detective agency for help. The detectives, a twelve year-old girl named Dorothy, a blind scarecrow, and his small, black seeing-eye dog named Toto, set off on the trail with the children tagging along.

    The trail leads them to the Whale Inn where they find the parents perched on the tavern bar, forced to entertain gruff Caribbean pirates. Guarding the entrance is a huge, ferocious lion. With the aid of a tin woodman, the detectives and the children plot a wacky and rousing rescue.
