What Were They Doing While Nobody Was Looking?
Isabella and Isaac know when wool appeared, when stickers were found and when strange things happened. The big mystery is what the sheep were doing in between.
Briefing
What Isabella and Isaac know
Isabella and Isaac know when wool appeared, when stickers were found and when strange things happened. The big mystery is what the sheep were doing in between.
The important part is not to decide too quickly. A Magic Sheep clue should be interesting enough to save, but mysterious enough to wonder about.
Folded note
Mystery note
Perhaps the sheep were hiding. Perhaps they were helping. Or perhaps they were waiting to be discovered. The investigation continues.
The case stays open because the signs are interesting, gentle and not quite finished explaining themselves.
Official position
The investigation remains open
There is currently insufficient evidence to confirm the existence of Magic Sheep. However, wool has been found, messages have appeared, stickers have been discovered, several adventures have occurred, and nobody has provided a convincing alternative explanation.

First clues
Isabella first became interested after a magical sheep story. Then grown-ups began remembering oddly similar details: shy sheep, kind hearts, and signs that never quite proved anything.

The Great Ski Holiday Investigation
Ski week overview
The ski holiday became the closest Isabella and Isaac have come to finding Magic Sheep. Not a sighting, not proof, but a whole chain of snow clues that kept appearing just before or just after anyone was looking.
