The book cover for Octo, P.I. and the Missing Egg by Sarah McDavis features a playful detective-themed design. A large orange octopus tentacle curls around a missing poster displaying an image of a mysterious egg.

A blue circular stamp reads “A ZAR&R Mystery,” reinforcing the detective theme. The title is in bold, eye-catching fonts, with “OCTO, PI” in bright orange and the subtitle in black, suggesting a fun and engaging mystery adventure.
