Bookroo's summary

Kayla's homemade peanut butter treats for a puppy have disappeared, and her dog King is the prime suspect. But with King's breath peanut butter-free and his nose sensing an intruder, the duo must uncover the real culprit. Is it Jillian's mischievous brother Adam, or someone else entirely? As they gather clues and evaluate evidence, Kayla and King must work together to crack the case. Will they solve the mystery before the trail goes cold?
