About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their sports-loving child is ready for their first chapter books but needs a fun, engaging hook to keep them turning the pages. "The Missing Fans" is a lighthearted and silly mystery about Percy, a panda who is the number one fan of the Pink Porcupines football team. When the fans suddenly vanish from the stadium, Percy puts on his detective hat to crack the case. The story gently models curiosity, teamwork, and resilience without ever feeling preachy. Its simple language, humorous plot, and combination of sports and mystery make it a fantastic choice for newly independent readers, especially those aged 6 to 8 who might be reluctant to leave picture books behind.
