Keeker and the Sneaky Pony (4 page)

KEEKER
and the Sugar Shack

It’s mud season in Vermont, and everyone has cabin fever. Keeker is so bored that she has started wearing pantyhose on her head to pretend she has long braids. So when she learns that an old woman has bought the run-down Crabapple Farm, she decides she and Plum need to go investigate. Along the way, the two detectives befriend their eccentric neighbor (and her huge dog, Clancy) and learn that even mud season can be magical when you’re making maple syrup.
