About the book

The pet snake from the class next door is missing!

Carter and his ghost detective sidekick, Mr. Pebbles, are back, and there’s a new mystery to solve at Creek Elementary. Carter’s older brother, JJ, reveals that his class pet, a skittish milk snake named Milkshake, is missing! Can Carter and Mr. Pebbles find her before they have another dead class pet on their hands?!
