The Incredible Polly McDoodle

If there's one thing Polly McDoodle doesn't like, it's change. But things are changing all around her: her brother has moved to Regina to play hockey; the treehouse headquarters of the Clay/McDoodle Detective Agency got wiped out in a summer storm; her mentor and friend Isabel has headed for an artist colony in Mexico; her friend Erin has moved to Winnipeg; she's starting a new school; and - the icing on the cake - the homeroom teacher she was finally getting used to has to take a sudden leave and gets replaced by a sloppy, obnoxious loser.

What Polly needs to snap herself out of the blues is a good mystery - and then she sees a bizarre incident at a mailbox outside the school. Suddenly people's mail - especially the envelopes that hold cash or credit cards - starts to go missing.
