Bookroo's summary

Retired search-and-rescue dog J.J. Tully craves peace, but odd behavior from Moosh and her chicks, plus a sneaky possum, disrupts his plans. The arrival of Diamond Lil, a glamorous new dog next door, raises more questions. Can J.J. unravel the mystery and restore order to the coop? With clues to sniff out and secrets to uncover, J.J. must use his detective skills to save the day. Dive into a world of adventure and intrigue where nothing is as it seems, and every bark could be the key to solving the puzzle.

From the publisher

The Legend of Diamond Lil, second book in the illustrated J.J. Tully mystery series, is perfect for elementary-school kids who love adventure and animals. New York Times bestselling author Doreen Cronin brings the same wonderful humor to the JJ. Tully whodunits that she did to her beloved picture book bestsellers like Diary of a Worm. In this sequel to the chapter book The Trouble with Chickens, all search-and-rescue dog J.J. Tully wants is to enjoy his retirement. But mama chick Moosh and chicks Dirt and Sugar are acting strange. A possum keeps finding its way into the chicken coop. And J.J. has questions about Diamond Lil, the fancy new dog next door. He’ll have to track down the clues and sniff out the evidence to save the day.
