About this ebook
The Chicken Squad is back for their sixth (mis)adventure, and this time there’s a headless bear on the loose and the Chicken Squad’s beloved Barbara has gone missing! A “lip-bitingly funny” (School Library Journal) chapter book from the bestselling author of Click, Clack, Moo and Cyclone.
It’s fall in the backyard, and though the weather is cooling down, the crime solving business is still hot. When the Chicken Squad’s neighbor Anna McClanahanahan comes looking for her missing hamster one morning, it’s an easy case to solve (Ziggy always takes a stroll from 6:30 to 7:15 a.m.). The Chicken Squad is now ready to settle in for a relaxing day of knitting—that is, until Ziggy points out that Barbara, the Chicken Squad’s caretaker—the one who FEEDS THEM!!—is missing! And not only that, but there have been sightings of a headless bear in the neighborhood! Will the Chicken Squad be able to save their beloved Barbara and get some breakfast? Or will this case be too much to bear?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well, the Chicken Squad is at it again. They are so sure there is a bear loose in their town. Now they have a network of helpers throughout the town giving them clues and their helpers are as wild with their deduction as the Squad.I love these guys. They don't get the clues put together correctly but they solve the case anyway. I laugh as they follow the clues. I never know what they will do next.

Introductions
Ah, the change of the seasons . . .
My name is J. J. Tully, retired search-and-rescue dog, and every season has its rescues. But no matter the weather, search-and-rescue dogs will brave the elements and get you to safety. We’ll search high and low in the rain, wind, sleet, and snow. I once spent so much time digging an amateur skier out of a snowbank that my left eyeball froze solid. Couldn’t see straight until it thawed out in the spring. Personally, I prefer fall rescues. My eyes stay nice and soft, and the happy rescue pictures are always so pretty because of the leaves.
You know who else is out in all kinds of weather? These four:
Dirt: Short, yellow, fuzzy
Real Name: Peep
Specialty: Foreign languages, math, colors, computer codes
Sugar: Short, yellow, fuzzy
Real Name: Little Boo
Specialty: Breaking and entering, interrupting
Poppy: Short, yellow, fuzzy
Real Name: Poppy
Specialty: Sugarology
Sweetie: Short, yellow, fuzzy
Real Name: Sweet Coconut Louise
Specialty: None that I can see
I am officially retired from the rescue business, but this month alone, I’ve pulled Sugar out of a tomato (long story), Sweetie out of the garden hose (another long story), Poppy out of a hole in the fence (short story, but not very interesting), and Dirt out of the dictionary (hard to explain).
If you ever get lost (or stuck) in my yard, I’ll be happy to help you, too. In the meantime, don’t eat tomatoes bigger than you
