February 6, 2026 By achuka Leave a Comment

ACHUKA Book of the Day 6 Feb 2026

Publisher: Templar Books
ISBN: 9781800786639

“Great characters, an engaging case and lashings of lovely illustrations.” ThroughtheBookshelf

The third title (and the first featured on ACHUKA) of a lively, highly-illustrated newly-independent-reader series. Ideal for KS1 and Y3 book corners.

In this one, Watts is looking forward to a holiday at the Great Glacier Hotel and Ski Resort. But  the vacation soon turns into another high-stakes investigation: the priceless Ice Crystal has been stolen from the hotel safe, and Watts’s parents are the prime suspects!

Will Watts and Pearl be able to clear Mr and Mrs Watts’ names? And will they be able to catch the real jewel thief?

This dog and cat detective duo will have to navigate through heavy snow, suspicious staff, and a locked room mystery. But will they manage to ski, sleuth and save the day?
