Sarah’s mother is tired of finding odd socks in the laundry basket. Where do all the missing socks go? Sarah’s mother is pretty sure Max the puppy is responsible, but Sarah knows better. And her mother mustn’t find out the truth! 

Join Sarah in keeping a secret of fairies and mischief, and find out just what happened to those missing socks. There are magical things that grown-ups can’t see, and here they’re brought to life with vibrant, engaging illustrations.

The Great Sock Secret is the second book by the talented author and illustrator team behind the highly successful Don’t Think About Purple Elephants. It’s a fantastical adventure into an imaginative world that’s home to some very cool fairies. You’ll never look at your socks in the same way again!
