The final 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 neighbourhood. Perfect for fans of A Boy Called Bat, Wedgie & Gizmo, and the Mercy Watson series!

In this third mystery, the pet-tective duo must solve a series of crimes at the local Renaissance Faire. Perfect for fans of Mercy Watson, The Trouble with Chickens, and A Boy Called Bat.

Life is never quiet at the Homestead. First, it was disappearing animals, then a power-hungry dairy queen. Now itโ€™s a Renaissance Faire, a noisy, stinky spectacle that drives Horace to distraction. Bunwinkle, on the other hand, canโ€™t get enough of the festivitiesโ€”she loves the thrilling jousts, the court intrigue...and especially the pickles on a stick.

But when Eleanor and Claryโ€™s ice cream buckets are stolen and several of the food stalls are vandalised, itโ€™s clear that thereโ€™s something fishy going on at the faire. And suddenly the pet-tectives find themselves with a new case on their hands.

One thingโ€™s for certain: Thereโ€™s no shortage of suspects. From Wendell, the nosy vegetable vendor, to Dean, the alpaca farmer whoโ€™s been getting a bit too close to Eleanor, to Uta Hawken, a Shakespeare-spouting red-tailed hawk, the culprit could be anyone.

Can the pet-tectives solve this royally tough case before the faire is ruined...or worse?
