Backyard Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798249619138)

A new home. A hidden mystery. And a lesson they didn't expect to learn.

Jack, Otie, and baby Coen have finally settled into their new house-but the backyard has a story of its own.

Tall grass hides a worn path.
A broken fence leads somewhere unknown.
And an old shed stands quietly in the corner... but not empty.

Mabel knows it first.

She watches. She listens. She doesn't chase.

And when something begins moving in the yard-just out of sight-the boys must decide whether to be afraid... or to understand.

With Papaw's steady guidance and Mabel leading the way, what begins as a mystery becomes something more:

A lesson about courage, wisdom, and knowing the difference between something that threatens you-and something that simply needs a place to belong.

Perfect for readers ages 7-11, The Backyard Mystery is a warm, suspenseful adventure in the spirit of the Hardy Boys and Lassie-where not every mystery ends with a chase... and not every answer is what you expect.

This is Book 2 in the A Dog and Her Boys series, where each story follows Mabel and the boys as they grow in courage, wisdom, and the kind of loyalty that shapes a family.
