About
ABBY GAIL AND THE BACKYARD BANDITS
Book #9 of The Three Yorkieteers
By Trudy Myrland
Somebody has been in Abby Gail’s backyard.
Birdseed is disappearing. Food is scattered. Plants have been nibbled. The ground is disturbed. Things are not where they belong.
To a two-pound Yorkie who knows her backyard very well, the evidence means only one thing: there are BANDITS on the loose!
Abby Gail launches an investigation, determined to discover who is responsible. Harley D. immediately appoints himself head of backyard security, which mostly involves barking first and asking questions later. Lilly Lou quietly watches the visitors everyone else is too busy chasing theories to notice. Nearby, enormous white Sneakers keeps a careful eye on three tiny investigators who may be taking backyard security just a little too seriously.
Then the suspects begin appearing.
Birds scatter seed. Squirrels race away with food. Chipmunks stuff their cheeks. Rabbits nibble greenery. Something is digging holes. Something bigger is disturbing the yard. When mysterious tracks appear after dark and a masked visitor finally arrives, Abby is certain she is getting close to solving the case.
There is just one problem.
The clues do not agree with her theory.
To solve the mystery, Abby must stop asking how all the evidence proves she is right and start asking what the evidence is actually telling her.
Filled with Yorkie logic, backyard wildlife, family teamwork, gentle mystery, and Harley D.’s enthusiastic approach to security, Abby Gail and the Backyard Bandits turns an ordinary backyard into an adventure where every clue matters.
