Consisting of a wide range of engaging chapter books, the Big Cat Read On series improves reading stamina and comprehension, develops vocabulary, and introduces children to more sophisticated narrative structures and themes. Annie Edwards has uncovered a hidden alcove in the kitchen. Inside is an old telephone, and when she lifts the receiver to her ear there’s a message from the past … and a mystery to solve. Who is the woman on the other end of the line, and why does no one know what happened to her?
