Synopsis

Every favorite character from Kate DiCamillo’s New York Times bestselling Mercy Watson books makes an appearance in this extended, riotously funny series crescendo.

When Mercy Watson the pig goes missing, all of Deckawoo Drive is in an uproar. The Watsons are inconsolable, and the local police, fire, and animal control departments are no help whatsoever. Bossy neighbor Eugenia Lincoln is not quite as sad as she might be, but thankfully her sister, Baby Lincoln, has the idea to hire a private investigator. Granted, Percival Smidgely, PI, may be more bumbler than gumshoe, but his pigeon, Polly, is there to point the way. Meanwhile, Frank and Stella Endicott and Stella’s friend Horace Broom are ready to do some investigating of their own. Will the clever neighborhood sleuths manage to follow the trail of hoofprints—and a certain overwhelmingly enticing scent—and recover their porcine wonder? With deftly paced narrative comedy and warm affection for her cast of characters, Kate DiCamillo brings us a highly satisfying, extra-special series finale that rewards loyal fans—and invites new listeners to explore the stories that came before.

Goodreads review by Chloe on January 15, 2024

I love the strange and charming world of Mercy Watson (and really anything Chris VanDusen does) and this was no exception. My kids found the detective theme delightful and were excited any time a chapter cut to Mercy’s blissfully unaware escapades as everyone is looking for her. I did feel the pacing......more

Goodreads review by Taylor on March 25, 2025

Finally done with this series! It’s a cute way to wrap it up, and it adds a couple different plot lines so it’s getting kids ready for bigger more complicated chapter books. They did a weird thing where they had a lot of illustrations done in black and white (again to probably get kids ready for oth......more

Read this aloud to the younger two and loved it so very much. Kate DiCamillo can do no wrong in my mind…I genuinely laughed aloud a dozen times while reading. And Chris Van Dusen’s hilariously perfect illustrations add so much to the stories. So enjoyable!......more
