    About this ebook

    Someone is wreaking havoc in Centerboro, destroying gardens, stealing bicycles breaking windows and one of the culprits appears to be… a pig? With the townspeople suspecting Freddy, he’ll need the help of all his friends, including a fearsome dragon, to clear his good name and restore the reputation of Bean Farm.

    This is vintage Freddy and the whole ensemble cast at their best. His adventures will thrill fans of all ages and entice new readers in this nostalgic classic, publishing in a charming new volume alongside Freddy the Detective!
