Lost your shoe? Can't find your homework? Mudshark is the guy everyone goes to when there's a mystery to solve. That is, until the Psychic Parrot comes to live in the school library-and threatens to take over Mudshark's position as the one who knows all the answers! Right now, the principal knows that the school needs someone who's good at solving problems. An escaped gerbil is running through the school, there's an emergency in the faculty restroom, and all the board erasers are disappearing from the classrooms. Can Mudshark outwit the Psychic Parrot and restore order to the school?
