  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.   
  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, Eleanor, 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 stuffy demeanor 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 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!

  Jake has to attend a wedding out of town.  No one has been designated to take over as leader of the Animorphs.  But when Tobias tells the others that he's found the place where Visser Three currently feeds, there is a unanimous agreement on going after him.  The kids aquire cheetah morphs to run the visser down.   Unfortunately, there's a new player on the scene:  an inspector sent by the Council of Thirteen to check on Visser Three's eternal problems.  The inspector has a Garatron host body.  Garatrons are the newest hosts: like Andalites, but with shocking speed---and no morphing technology.  this Garatron-Controller outruns the Animorphs and Ax in their cheetah morphs, saving Visser Three.  The kids soon realize this inspector may provide a way to do away with  Visser Three.  If  they can convince the inspector that the visser is totally incompetent, totally unable to stop the "Andalite bandits,"  maybe the Visser will be recalled.  Now a dispute breaks out:  Who will run the mission in Jake's absence?  Marco and Rachel are the main aspirants.  Cassie takes herself out.  Tobias and Ax bow out.  In the end, Marco lets Rachel take control.  Rachel stages a series of reckless Rachel raids to harass known Controllers, with the goal of making the Visser seem impotent.  But Rachel's recklessness and impatience betray her when her failure to plan results in Cassie being captured and taken to the Yeerk pool.   Rachel's confidence collapses.  She learns about the flip side of leadership, the difficult choices Jake makes all the time.  The kids rescue Cassie with a spectacular assault on the Yeerk pool.  Rachel has succeeded, but her interest in leading is considerably diminished.

  Robert Louis Stevenson's "Happy Thought" betokens all the joy and wonder of A Child's Garden of Verses. The poetic musings of this well-loved classic recapture childhood mysteries that range from the everyday rituals of home ("The Land of Nod," "Escape at Bedtime," and "My Bed Is a Boat") to the curiosities of a wider world ("Foreign Lands," "Pirate Story," and "Where Go the Boats?").
