Schools & Educators
The Millie Mollusk Mysteries series is written for young independent readers and family/classroom read-alouds, using mystery, humour, teamwork and real places as invitations to notice, question and explore.
Short chapters, recurring characters, visual storytelling and clear mystery beats make the books suitable for shared reading as well as independent reading.
Stories draw from Nova Scotia's coastal communities, working waterfronts, islands and natural settings while keeping the adventure and mystery at the centre.
Selected series titles include puzzles, activities or special pages that extend observation and problem-solving beyond the main story.
