From the publisher

“Francine Poulet will wrangle readers’ hearts along with rascally wildlife in this standout early chapter book.” – Booklist (starred review) Francine Poulet is the greatest animal control officer in Gizzford County, hailing from a long line of animal control officers. “The genuine article,” Francine’s dad always called her. She is never scared – until, that is, she’s faced with a screaming raccoon that may or may not be a ghost. Maybe Francine isn’t cut out to be an animal control officer after all! Join a cast of familiar characters – Frank, Stella, Mrs. Watson, and Mercy the porcine wonder–for some riotous raccoon wrangling in the second tale from Deckawoo Drive.
