It's springtime in Pinewood, and the annual town picnic promises sunshine, sack races, and smiles—until cherished trinkets start vanishing, and the festival mood turns suspicious.

When a silver ring, a vintage cookie badge, and several personal treasures disappear from picnicgoers' pockets and purses, everyone's pointing fingers—including at each other. Tori, Riley, Owen, and their feline sidekick Peebly spring into action, sniffing out clues in sandwich swaps, ribbon races, and even the mayor's chili cook-off feud.

But as apologies unravel secrets, and suspicions bloom like dandelions, the real culprit turns out to be closer—and kinder—than anyone expected.

In this heartwarming springtime mystery full of redemption, friendship, and second chances, Tori learns that not every crime is committed out of malice—and some mysteries end with lemonade, not handcuffs.

Perfect for young readers who love clever sleuths, loyal pets, and feel-good endings!
