Calvin and Pudge and the Case of the. Vanishing Candy. Mystery, suspense filled read to me book for kids

A stolen sweet. A spooky shadow. A Halloween mystery only a beagle can sniff out.

Halloween is supposed to be about costumes, candy, and fun—not midnight stakeouts, raccoon gangs, and mysterious glowing eyes in the woods.
But when candy begins vanishing all across town, Calvin and his faithful beagle Pudge launch the Neighborhood Candy Watch with their best friends Maya, Jamal, and Nora. What starts as a simple mystery quickly unravels into something much bigger: tunnels beneath the graveyard, wrapper-covered hideouts, and the chilling legend of the Candy Goblin—a greedy, laughing shadow that’s haunted the town for over a hundred years.
Armed with flashlights, air horns, and one determined dog nose, the Candy Watch must face their fears, protect their neighbors, and uncover the truth before the entire town’s Halloween haul disappears forever.
Funny, suspenseful, and packed with Halloween spirit, this adventure proves that courage, teamwork, and a good beagle can shine even in the darkest shadows.
