The first in a young middle grade
animal series in which an anxious Boston Terrier and an exuberant potbellied
pig team up to solve crimes in their barnyard—from debut author PJ Gardner,
with illustrations by David Mottram.
Perfect for fans of the Mercy Watson
series, The Trouble with Chickens, and A Boy Called Bat.
Horace Homer
Higgins III despises dirt. And the outdoors. And ducks. But when his person, Ellie,
moves to a farm called the Homestead, the anxious Boston Terrier is forced to
adapt. As if that isn’t enough to strain his nerves, Ellie adopts a perpetually
cheerful potbellied pig named Bunwinkle to be his baby sister.
Bunwinkle is
delighted to be on the farm despite the stuffiness of her new canine brother.
She’s sure she’ll crack his shell eventually—no one can resist her cuteness for
long—especially once they bond over watching a TV pet-tective show.
When the duo discovers that
some neighborhood animals have been disappearing, they decide to use their new
detective skills to team up to solve this barnyard mystery. Is it a mountain
lion? Or their suspiciously shot-loving veterinarians? Only one thing seems
certain: if they don’t figure it out soon, one of them might be next.
