"Francine Poulet will wrangle readers' hearts along with rascally wildlife in this standout early chapter book." -- Booklist (starred review)

She is never scared -- until, that is, she's faced with a screaming raccoon that may or may not be a ghost. Maybe Francine isn't cut out to be an animal control officer after all! Join a cast of familiar characters -- Frank, Stella, Mrs. Watson, and Mercy the porcine wonder--for some riotous raccoon wrangling in the second tale from Deckawoo Drive.
