Mystery of the Bear Cub

2018 Green Earth Book National Short List Recipient

The boys are down in the dumps--literally Someone is dumping trash on the Wilder Family Campground's property. It's bad for the campground, and bad for the wildlife, too. When Cooper, Packrat, and Roy find a fox in the woods with its head stuck in a jar, they know it's time to investigate. But when the boys start digging, they stumble headlong into the path of a garbage truck and a hungry black bear.

Tamra Wight keeps the adventures coming in book four of the award-winning Cooper & Packrat Adventures.


About the Author
Tamra Wight lives in Turner, Maine. She and her family ran the Poland Spring Campground for more than 20 years, providing Wight with plenty of inspiration for her spirited and exciting fiction. All four Cooper and Packrat Adventures, Mystery on Pine Lake, Mystery of the Eagle's Nest, Mystery of the Missing Fox, and Mystery of the Bear Cub are Junior Library Guild selections. When Wight isn't writing, she enjoys wildlife watching, hiking, geo-caching, kayaking, power-walking, and snowshoeing. She can often be found (for those who know where to look) hiding under her "cloak of invisibility," a huge poncho-shaped camouflage cloth that she uses to disguise herself from passing skunks, coyotes, and foxes.
