The Chicken Squad faces their wildest case yet: a headless bear is on the loose, and their caretaker, Barbara, has vanished. As fall chills the air, these feathered detectives must unravel the mystery to save Barbara and secure their breakfast. With their neighbor's hamster mystery easily solved, the squad is ready for a day of knitting, but the stakes rise when Ziggy alerts them to Barbara's disappearance. Can they crack the case before it's too late, or will this be the one that gets away? Join the squad for a hilarious, suspenseful adventure.
The Chicken Squad is back for their sixth (mis)adventure, and this time there’s a headless bear on the loose and the Chicken Squad’s beloved Barbara has gone missing! A “lip-bitingly funny” (School Library Journal) chapter book from the bestselling author of Click, Clack, Moo and Cyclone. It’s fall in the backyard, and though the weather is cooling down, the crime solving business is still hot. When the Chicken Squad’s neighbor Anna McClanahanahan comes looking for her missing hamster one morning, it’s an easy case to solve (Ziggy always takes a stroll from 6:30 to 7:15 a.m.). The Chicken Squad is now ready to settle in for a relaxing day of knitting—that is, until Ziggy points out that Barbara, the Chicken Squad’s caretaker—the one who FEEDS THEM!!—is missing! And not only that, but there have been sightings of a headless bear in the neighborhood! Will the Chicken Squad be able to save their beloved Barbara and get some breakfast? Or will this case be too much to bear?
