by Jason Yates

About The Book

Lincoln and Bernard aren't your average backyard turkeys — they're detectives with feathers, flair, and a whole lot of gobble. Join them on a hilarious mystery adventure filled with critters, clues, and compost chaos. Perfect for curious kids and backyard dreamers.

When the mulch pile gets disturbed and a strange gray feather turns up at dawn, Lincoln and Bernard know something's off. The rake is missing. The compost lid is ajar. And Twitch the squirrel — their usual prime suspect — doesn't fit the evidence.

With help from Penny the possum, a reluctant dachshund, and a few well-placed snacks, the two backyard detectives follow the clues from the shed to the garden fence to the great turkey trap, all the way to a final showdown that will decide who really runs the backyard.

A short chapter book for ages 6 to 9. Perfect for kids who love animal mysteries, silly heroes, and stories about backyards full of personality.
