Hey readers, it’s time for an all-new chapter of The Pixar Detective! I hope you’re mentally prepared because I’m not.

So this week’s chapter is titled “Anyone Can’t Cook,” and no, that’s not a typo. I’m curious how many of you will catch what a lot of this chapter really means, so once you’re done reading, be sure to share your theories and speculations in the comments!

And as always, don’t forget to thank our brilliant illustrator, Kayla Savage, for bringing this week’s chapter to life. She certainly doesn’t get enough credit for how great the story has developed. We’re both pretty sad, of course, that the novel is nearing it’s end, but we’re excited nonetheless about future projects!

Let’s get started.

Previously, on the Pixar Detective!

Stevin, Sadie, Sumner, and Wallaby are on their way to France in search of a “hidden wonder” that may lead them to where Mary has been taken. They’re joined by the mysterious Kevin, who flies the zeppelin, “The Spirit of Adventure.”

But not everyone is happy about this alliance. Kevin is also known as “The Poacher,” and a dangerous man named Robert Best is after him. To even the odds, he’s recruited a team of specialists known as “The Unforgivables,” descendants or former accomplices of past criminals tagged and bagged by Pixar University. Will they foil Stevin’s plans for finding Mary?
