The Mighty Muskrats are off to the city to have fun at the Exhibition Fair. But when Chickadee learns about Grandpa’s missing little sister, who was adopted by strangers without her parents’ permission many years ago, the Mighty Muskrats have a new mystery to solve.

A compelling “urban bush” adventure that offers light and reconciliation to dark truths.

– The Kirkus Reviews
Missing Auntie is a good read, with an emotional punch, and I can hardly wait for the Mighty Muskrats to take their next case.
– Jean Mendoza, American Indians in Children's literature (AICL)
Delivered a surprising end to the story, one that left me envious of the close family ties Chickadee and the boys enjoy.
– The Montreal Gazette

The Case of the Missing Auntie is a well-told mystery that deals with important topics at a middle-grade level. It is highly recommended for school and public libraries.
