Whooooo Done It? - Paul DuBois Jacobs
PROLOGUE
Creak! Creak!
Creak! Creak!
This old house sure makes a lot of spooky sounds. There’s always something creaking, squeaking, or rattling.
Welcome to Animal Inn. My name is Whiskers. You might also know me as Super Cat, but that’s another story.
No, I’m not one of those cats who is always clamoring to get outside. That would be my big sister, Shadow. I am an indoor cat. I love calm, quiet, and relaxing on my comfy sofa.
I belong to the Tyler family. Our family includes five humans—Mom, Dad, Jake, Ethan, and Cassie—and seven pets:
• Me
• Shadow—my big sister
• Dash—a Tibetan terrier
• Coco—a chocolate Labrador retriever
• Leopold—a scarlet macaw
• and Fuzzy and Furry—a pair of very enterprising gerbils
We all live together in this creaky old house in the countryside. Animal Inn is one part hotel, one part school, and one part spa. As our brochure says: We promise to love your pet as much as you do.
Creak! Creak!
Don’t mind that noise. It’s just the creaky front door. It gets a lot of use with all the coming and going here at the inn.
We might have a Pekinese arriving for a pedicure. A Siamese showing up for a short stay. Or a llama leaving after a long stay. Once, we even hosted a field trip for Cassie’s entire first-grade class. That day was neither calm nor quiet. But it sure was fun.
On the first floor of Animal Inn, we have the Welcome Area, the office, the classroom, the grooming room, and the party and play room.
Our family lives on the second floor. This includes Fuzzy and Furry snug in their gerbiltorium, unless they’re out on a job. We Tyler pets have used their detective services on a number of occasions.
The third floor is for our smaller guests. We have a Reptile Room, a Rodent Room, and a Small Mammal Room. The larger guests stay out in the barn and kennels.
That means at any given moment, you might hear squawks, chirps, bleats, meows, or woofs.
And just last week we heard a sound that gave all of us quite a scare.
Promise not to get too frightened?
Okay. Let me tell you what happened . . . .
CHAPTER

It all began the first morning of school vacation week.
