Walker Styles grew up reading kids' books, so it makes sense that he's writing them now. And when he isn't writing books, he's out solving mysteries around the city of Manhattan, where he lives. Just the other day, he lost the book he was reading. Following all the clues, Walker deduced the couch ate it! (Well, the book was under the couch cushions. Still, mystery solved!).

Rider and the PI Pack solve a snow monster mystery in this ninth Rider Woofson adventure.
Even the greatest dog detective in the world deserves a little time away from fighting crime, so Rider and the PI Pack head to the Mystery Mountain ski resort for a well-deserved vacation. But when they arrive the entire ski lodge is deserted! Turns out there's a Snowbot on the loose, scaring all the visitors away. Now it's up to Rider and the team to get to the bottom of this winter caper, even on their day off. Will the PI Pack be able to uncover the secret behind Mystery Mountain?

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Rider Woofson chapter books are perfect for emerging readers.
