Curious and determined, 9-year-old Katie attempts to solve the mystery of her little cousin’s missing, precious, Pickles the Destroyer underwear. Teased by mean kids at school, she’s going solo because – harrumph – who needs friends anyway when she has her dog, Aggie McDoogall, as her partner in snooping. As more random items go missing from her cousin’s kindergarten room, Katie gets deeper and deeper into trouble at school and at home. Will Katie find the missing underwear? Will her never-give-up attitude gain her the respect and friendship she doesn’t know she needs?
