Ophelia Starcluck and the Golden Egg

Book excerpt: Mistakes were made. Can Ophelia make them right? Ophelia Starcluck is a chickling with guilt in her gullet. When she first arrived at BAST a few months ago, she made some horrible mistakes that hurt her friends and could have ended in a galactic war. Now, she hopes to make it up to them at the Hard-Boiled Mystery Adventure, as they search for the Golden Egg. One hundred years ago, Nester City’s most notorious mobster, Tony Buzzini, stole this legendary Egg from the chickadee royalty. Clues left in Buzzini’s memoir could be the key to finding it. But Ophelia and her friends aren’t the only ones searching. Duke Skysquawker is also on the lookout for this mysterious egg, and he’s recruited an ambitious mime to help him search. The duke will stop at nothing to get his wings on that Egg. If the duke finds it first, he will be the most powerful bird on the planet, plunging them all into the chickadee’s evil, tiny clutches yet again. Ophelia can’t let that happen. Besides, if she and her friends find the Egg first, they’ll be famous. Surely then they’ll forgive her mistakes, and she can shake this icky, space sludgy feeling inside her. If you like scavenger hunts, silly, self-centered mimes, and stuffing yourself with super sticky watermelon, you’ll love Ophelia’s third adventure. Snatch up your copy today!
