Description

The first in a young middle grade animal series, 'Horace & Bunwinkle' follows the adventures of an anxious Boston Terrier named Horace Homer Higgins III and his exuberant potbellied pig sister, Bunwinkle, as they team up to solve crimes on their new farm home, the Homestead. Despite his disdain for dirt and the outdoors, Horace is forced to adapt when his person, Ellie, moves to the farm. Bunwinkle's cheerful nature contrasts with Horace's anxiety, but the two bond over a pet-detective TV show and work together to solve the mystery of disappearing neighborhood animals.
