The Minnow Trap Mystery

By Ayla Wade

Can two boys outsmart a raccoon-and maybe catch a legendary catfish?

Tucker has a plan: trap some minnows, bait a hook, and finally catch the slipperiest fish in Willow Creek-Wally Whiskers. He's big. He's sneaky. He might not even be real.

But when their bait mysteriously vanishes overnight, Tucker and his best friend Boone launch an all-out backyard investigation. The suspect? A criminal genius with tiny paws and a taste for mischief.

Armed with a modified trap, a bucket of bait, and a whole lot of hope, the boys set out to beat the raccoon at his own game-and maybe get one step closer to catching a legend.

A heartwarming, hilarious mystery for ages 6-9, The Minnow Trap Mystery celebrates curiosity, resilience, and the kind of summer adventure that only requires a creek, a brother, and a good imagination.
