REVIEW: Mercy Watson Is Missing by Kate DiCamillo

Summary


The Watsons are devastated when their beloved pig, Mercy, goes missing. They even seek out a private detective to help. The whole Deckawoo Drive neighborhood shows up to help – well, not Eugenia. But a couple of clever kids are able to save the day.

Review


This is a hoot! There are a ton of familiar faces in this story as well as porcine antics and buttery goodness. Series fans – of both the original Mercy Watson books and also fans of the Deckawoo Drive stories – will find a lot here to connect with. Savvy readers will likely solve the mystery before the characters do. But Mercy’s adventure takes several twists and turns I think readers will enjoy.
