About this ebook
You never know what might inspire you. Surprisingly, school has been the source of many of my cases. There’s a whole lot of boring stuff at school. But there are also a whole lot of interesting things that you can learn about. When you find something interesting, like dinosaurs, you never know where it might lead.
In case you haven't met me, my name is Courtney Case. I live in Australia. That’s in the Southern Hemisphere between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. We speak English, but we don't have the funny accent you Americans do. We also spell some of our words differently, as you'll probably notice in this book.
I go to primary school, where we have grades prep to six, with two classes at each grade level. I’m in grade five.
In my spare time, I’m a Private Detective. I’ve got my best friend and trusty sidekick, Laura, to take notes, and my cat, Maggie. Together, we form the Courtney Case Detective Agency – No Case Too Small.
Being a Private Detective isn’t always about crime. Things can get lost or go missing by accident. That’s where I’m happy to help out. I love investigating cases, finding the evidence and discovering what really happened.
In this case (my second book), I try to discover what happened to the leg of a dinosaur that was shown at our local museum. I mean, how can something as big as a dinosaur leg not be found?
Join Courtney Case, the fearless young detective as she tries to solve the mystery of the Dinosaur.
Ages 7 to 10

Note to Americans
Hi, this is Courtney Case and I live in Australia. Because of that, the spelling of some words may seem a bit strange to you. Words that end in ize in America often end in ise in Australia (such as fossilise and realise). Tires is spelled tyres, color is spelled colour, and lots of other little things.
We also say some things a bit differently, like Maths instead of math.
On top of that, we use the metric system in Australia, as they do in most of the rest of the world. You Americans have a strange measuring system. To help you out, I've been kind enough to translate most of the measurements for you. Just remember, a metre is about 39 of your inches, so just a little more than three feet. And a kilometre is 1.6 miles.
It shouldn't be too hard for you Americans to understand the differences in words and changes. Just give it a try!
