“As the final book in the beloved Mercy Watson universe, this will lure fans like a certain pig sniffing out buttered toast.” —Booklist (starred review)

When Mercy Watson the pig goes missing, all of Deckawoo Drive is in an uproar. The Watsons are inconsolable, and the local police department, fire department, and Animal Control are no help whatsoever. Bossy neighbour Eugenia Lincoln is not quite as sad as she might be, but thankfully her sister, Baby Lincoln, has the idea to hire a private investigator.

Granted, Percival Smidgely, PI, may be more bumbler than gumshoe, but his pigeon, Polly, is there to point the way. Meanwhile, Frank and Stella Endicott and Stella’s friend Horace Broom are ready to do some investigating of their own. Will the clever neighbourhood sleuths manage to follow the trail of hoofprints—and a certain overwhelmingly enticing scent—to recover their porcine wonder?

With deftly paced narrative comedy, visual slapstick, abundant artwork in both black and white and full colour, and warm affection for their cast of characters, Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen bring us a highly satisfying, extra-special series finale that rewards loyal fans—and invites new readers to explore the stories that came before.
