Framed in Paris!

Star Chapter Books are the perfect bridge for kids moving beyond beginning readers but not yet ready for longer chapter books. With short chapters, bold two-color illustrations, and fast-paced, funny stories, these confidence-building books make reading fun and rewarding. In this madcap mystery, dog siblings Betsy and Bones are swept up in a wild chase through Paris after the Mona Lisa goes missing! Organized and cautious, Betsy has every detail of their vacation planned, while her impulsive brother Bones is more interested in food—especially ketchup. But when their sightseeing adventure collides with a daring art heist, they must rely on each other to crack the case. On a breathtaking chase through the City of Light, the siblings race to catch the culprit and clear their names before the famous masterpiece disappears forever. Each Star Chapter Book is 112 pages long, divided into six to eight short chapters with illustrated panels on every page to keep kids engaged from start to finish. This highly visual early chapter book format supports the transition from leveled readers to chapter books, making Star Chapter Books a perfect fit for independent reading, classroom libraries, or shared story time.
