<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Ottoline is back in a brand new adventure! Ottoline and Mr. Munroe love puzzles, clues, and mysteries. One day, they meet an enigmatic purple fox, who offers to take them on a night-time urban safari. The fox shows them all the hidden animals of the city and Ottoline makes notes on them in her field notebook. Mr. Munroe is making notes, too--on the anonymous poems he finds stuck to lamp posts on their journey. Who is the secretive poet, and how can he and Ottoline help them mend their broken heart? Includes a fold-up-and-keep fortune teller!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Funny and endearing, with plenty of character cameos, Ottoline's newest adventure is worth the wait." --<i>Booklist Online</i></p><br><br>"As in previous episodes this fey tale is related in a mix of short narrative passages with many fantastically meticulous line drawings featuring bold monochrome highlights (purple, here) and gracefully posed figures in finely detailed garb and surroundings. . . .
