Books Included in This Collection:
Marnie Midnight and the Moon Mystery
Marnie arrives at Minibeast Academy full of moonlight dreams and a hunger for discovery. When belief in moon magic starts to fade, she and her tiny companions embark on a globe-spanning search for the truth. The journey mixes whimsy with a hint of danger as they encounter a rebellious rat and an otherworldly challenge from the Early Bird. The result is a breath of fresh nocturnal adventure that invites readers to consider wonder anew and to trust in their own investigative instincts, no matter how small they are.

Marnie Midnight and the Great Critter Contest
When the school hosts the Great Critter Contest, teams scurry to gather clues around the garden-varied campus. Marnie, Floyd the bee, and Star the ant push for the top prize, yet the real question surfaces when Veronica needs help. Victory feels sweeter when it includes helping others, and this installment celebrates teamwork, quick thinking, and the joy of unlikely friendships. The pacing keeps younger readers engaged while still delivering heart, humor, and a gentle nudge toward choosing kindness over sheer competition.

Marnie Midnight and the Minibeast Mission
