A case for the detective team with the robot dachshund – the new mystery adventure for detectives aged 8 and up
Feli has to spend the summer holidays with her aunt in the small village of Worms. How boring, she thinks at first. At least she has her robot dachshund Frankenstein with her.

Feli has to spend the summer holidays with her aunt in the small village of Worms. How boring, she thinks at first. At least she has her robot dachshund Frankenstein with her. He likes to dive headlong into wastepaper baskets when he’s not gnawing on a flash drive. While exploring her aunt’s villa, Feli and Frankenstein come across a big, old cupboard. Inside is a secret entrance to a seemingly abandoned detective agency. And the first case is already waiting for them: a little boy called Jojo needs help, because a valuable miniature pyramid has been stolen from the museum and the police think Jojo’s mother was responsible! They set to work investigating the case, and soon receive some support from a girl called Meilin, who completes their investigative team, which they call the Alliance of the 3½. But the case is anything but simple. What is going on in the museum? Was the thief looking for the legendary ‘Treasure of the Wormsiders’?

The thrilling first instalment in a series about a team of diminutive detectives, the Alliance of the 3½ – full of adventure, humour, and a little bit of magic.
