About this ebook

Can you guess the Secret Ingredient?
Author Lena Merika and transcreator Victoria Andre King want you to meet Dora and Miltos!
Friends since Miltos moved into Dora’s neighborhood, this dynamic duo’s common love of good food and detective stories is a strong bond. The only thing they argue about, who is the boss! Dora thinks she is worthy of the title Sherlock Holmes, but Miltos is not content to be the side kick Dr. Watson. Who will solve this case; her, him, or both?
Dora’s brother brings a mysterious guest home for winter break and the Nikolaos family is in an uproar. Grandma is so upset she even goes on “hunger” strike! Who is this mysterious Niket? Is she a spy? A terrorist? What is the secret ingredient in her dolmadakia that makes them just as good as Grandma’s? Will Grandma ever come out of her bedroom? Dora and Miltos are on the case!
This is the first of six adventures featuring Theodora Nikolaos and Miltiades Ronconi aka Dora & Miltos, Private Investigators. We first meet these two smart kids in the 7th grade, and follow their detective work through 11th grade. Romance and intrigue await!
Stay tuned for volume two in the series: Code-name Monica!
