Horace and Bunwinkle

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.
