The Curious Case of the Irish Yeti: Molly Malone and Bram Stoker

« Back

Written by: Alan Nolan
Illustrated by: Shane Cluskey
Publisher: The O'Brien Press

Dublin’s dogs are mysteriously disappearing! No guard dogs means thieves are running riot, and with no sheepdogs to herd the animals in Smithfield market, the city is overrun with sheep and goats … and even worse, Dublin’s cats are having an absolute field day! The dwindling doggy population is being blamed on a curious creature known as the Irish Yeti, a tall, terrifying shaggy beast with snow-white fur and red, glowing eyes. 
 
Bram Stoker, Molly Malone and the Sackville Street Spooks are fascinated by this mysterious monster, but when Molly’s own dog goes missing, the friends decide enough is enough – they have to go on the trail of the Yeti … 
 
Can Molly & Bram solve the mystery of the disappearing dogs?
