A horrible screech filled the air, cutting her off. The sound grated

on Horace’s eardrums and made

his teeth ache. It was a noise only a monster could produce.

Dread filled his heart.

A renaissance faire has come to town and trouble has come with it. Now it's up to the pet-tectives, Horace and Bunwinkle, to save the day!

Kirkus Reviews

Gardner’s debut tale of mystery and (eventual) bucolic bliss brings to mind Joan Carris and Noah Z. Jones’ Bed & Biscuit series. Graduates of the Mercy Watson books will also feel right at home. Mottram’s occasional illustrations just add to the charm….This kicks off a series, and readers will be glad to know that this piggie and pooch will pair up again.
