Synopsis

The second book in a young middle grade mystery-adventure
series about Horace, an anxious Boston Terrier, and Bunwinkle, an exuberant
potbellied pig, who team up to solve crimes in their barnyard and local
neighborhood—perfect for fans of Mercy Watson, The Trouble with Chickens,
and A Boy Called Bat.
Horace is flying high after solving the pet-tectives' first
mystery. But Bunwinkle just hasn’t been herself—she’s scared all the time and
is too embarrassed to tell anyone.
Before they can work on getting Bunwinkle’s confidence back,
a new case lands in their laps—well, actually their trash cans—when Shoo the
raccoon asks for help. The neighborhood humans think he’s behind a series of
garbage upheavals and home break-ins—but he swears he’s innocent. Just because
people call him a trash bandit doesn’t mean he is one.
To make matters worse, while the pet-tectives are trying to
clear Shoo’s name, they learn that Eleanor is having money problems. She hopes
to solve them by starting a community Farmer’s Market in the back field. The
neighbors seem excited to help at first but then, one by one, they suddenly
drop out.
With time running out, can the pet-tectives solve the
mysteries and save Shoo and the Homestead?

Goodreads review by Susan

This isn't the kind of book I usually read as I'm not a fan of animal-narrated stories. Still, I have to admit that THE CASE OF THE RASCALLY RACCOON is a super fun read. The characters are likable, funny, and relatable (yes, relatable). Gardner's writing is engaging, so much so that I zipped through......more
