Endowed with amazing intuition and a phenomenal memory, Agatha Mystery dreams of becoming a writer. But that is for the future, for now she is simply an excellent detective! Together with her clumsy cousin Larry, a student at detective school, she travels the world to solve the most tangled mysteries. They are helped by a loyal butler, a grumpy Siberian cat, and a host of eccentric relatives. Larry and Agatha are preparing to taste a festive cake at the wedding of one of their relatives. However, right in the middle of the family celebration, a call comes in: the agency assigns Larry a new mission, and the detective team is forced to rush to the ancient Uzbek city of Samarkand. The Mystery cousins have to find a priceless rug that was mysteriously stolen from the most securely guarded hall of the Samarkand Museum. This is no ordinary rug—legend has it that it was the inspiration for the fairy-tale magic carpet! On the detectives' path are unscrupulous traders and fierce bandits, so getting to the truth turns out to be very difficult... but the kids have an eccentric motorcycle-riding uncle with them, who can handle anything! For middle school age.
