“Lynn Sheffield Simmons writes wholesome fiction for children, hoping to stir their imaginations and teach valuable lessons in civic responsibility.”

 “The dog’s hilarious antics and loveable nature are both entertaining and educational for the young reader.” 

—Adelphean magazine 

 Mrs. Barnett and her crime-busting canine, Bo, are back for another adventure. With Christmas only a week away, the pair stops in Salado, Texas, where a sneaky thief is stealing presents straight from under the tree. Bo and Mrs. Barnett know they must act fast to catch the culprit, but there is a tricky problem: the bandit is disguised as Santa Claus. 

 After untangling himself from the Christmas lights and overcoming his fear of cats, Bo and Mrs. Barnett become sleuths in an attempt to save Christmas for the citizens of Salado. The lovable Labrador’s antics add humor to this festive read, and the small dose of suspense will keep kids on edge until the surprise ending.

Bo and the Christmas Bandit

“Lynn Sheffield Simmons hits another home run in storytelling with her latest book Bo and the Night Intruder.” 

 —Pete Incaviglia 

 Bo’s undisciplined mischief has landed him and his owner, Mrs. Barnett, in the vet’s office—twice. Now in a splint and a special funnel-shaped collar, Bo is finally learning obedience. He even helps a new restaurant owner, the famous baseball player Pete Incaviglia, discover who has been breaking in and destroying the kitchen at night. 

 This is not the first time Bo’s accidents and antics have ended up assisting police. In earlier Bo books, such as Bo, the Famous Retriever and Bo and the Missing Dogs, this bright and reliable labrador retriever manages to find clues in the most unlikely ways. In this adventure, Bo uncovers local importation of illegal aliens and saves a restaurant—and its valuable sports memorabilia—from destruction.
