Bookroo's summary
In Saddleboro, the death of Cock Robin signals a deeper ecological crisis. Young Tony Isidoro is determined to uncover the truth. With the park swarming with ants, silent nights without frogs, a river tainted by chemicals, and strange fumes from the dump, Tony must piece together these puzzling clues. Can he solve the mystery and save his town from an unseen threat? The stakes are high, and the answers may change everything they know about their environment. Dive into this gripping eco-mystery where every clue counts.
From the publisher
Cock Robin’s death can’t be ignored by the town of Saddleboro, because it means that something is drastically wrong with the town’s ecology. Tony Isidoro threads his way through a maze of clues: Among other things, the town park is overrun with trillions of ants; nights are quiet because there are no frogs singing; the nearby river contains a dangerous amount of an unknown chemical; and the town dump is emitting strange fumes. What does it all add up to? It’s a mystery all right, and it’s up to Tony to figure out who really killed Cock Robin.
