Bookroo's summary

On a spooky Halloween night, young detective Nate and his loyal dog, Sludge, embark on a mission to find Rosamond's missing cat, Little Hex. As they navigate through a sea of costumed trick-or-treaters, including robots and witches, the mystery deepens. Is Little Hex simply hiding from the Halloween chaos, or has he truly vanished? With each clue, Nate must use his sharp detective skills to solve the mystery before the night ends. Can they uncover the truth and bring Little Hex home?
