Somebody is stealing Captain Roy's crabs — or so the crabbers of Longs Bay say. Three mornings running, Roy's light pots have come up empty, dragged halfway up the bay and picked clean to the last shell. Seven-year-old Nell opens her notebook. The shells are left behind. The bait bags are chewed to ribbons. The heavy pots never move an inch. With Daddy's tide chart, a rope rubbed — not cut — clean through, and a muddy slide on the marsh bank, Nell follows the clues to the real culprits, and the whole town pitches in on a brand-new tradition: the Otter Tax. A gentle mystery solved fair and square — every clue on the page. Warm watercolor illustrations on every page. Ages 4–8.
