Into the Wild: Yet Another Misadventure: 06/03/22

Into the Wild: Yet Another Misadventure

Into the Wild: Yet Another Misadventure by Doreen Cronin and Stephen Gilpin (Illustrations) is the third of the Chicken Squad books. There's a new hutch in the yard and squad is concerned that Barbara has brought in a dangerous wild animal. They need to investigate before it's too late!

On a normal day the squad would be able to just walk over and observe. This volume, though, is set during a thunderstorm. There's enough drama in the storm to rival some of the cozy mysteries I've read.

The mystery the animal's identity is made clear pretty early in the book for the observant reader. The chicken squad, though, needs a little longer to process the clues.

The fourth book is Dark Shadows (2017)

Five stars
