| Francine Poulet Meets the Ghost Raccoon |
by Kate DiCamillo
Fans of Mercy Watson and Leroy Ninker will love the
latest in the Tales From Deckawoo Drive series.
Francine Poulet, an animal control officer who once had
to capture Mercy, is the star of this adventure. Both Francine’s father and grandmother were
animal control officers and Francine is “the real deal”. She is not afraid of anything. But when she gets a call about a raccoon that
screams people’s names, she meets her match.
Francine’s heart is in her throat when the raccoon
screams “Fraaaaaannnnyyy”, and she believes he really is a ghost. Terrified, Francine withdraws from being an
animal control officer.
Discover what brings Francine back to the job that is her
calling. Is Francine able to tame the
ghost raccoon? Will she get to enjoy
some toast with butter with some of her friends?
The ghostly raccoon that prowls around at night and
screams can be a little frightening for sensitive children, but most will find
it funny and very readable. This is a great read-aloud for parents.
