Italian, from 8yo.
It is early in the 20th century, and there are dogs being poisoned in New York. It is a case for Sherlock, a stray cat, and his team of dogs to investigate. This is great story to encourage young independent readers to become more proficient in Italian. The text is not overwhelming and there are lots of illustrations.
Find out who is guilty of the poisonnings by reading Sherlock, il racket delle crocchette.
