Between a Squawk and a Hard Place

Someone’s life depends on a parrot’s saucy secrets.

Ivy has always wanted to meet Hannah Pemberton, the first owner of Runaway Farm and a generous patron of animal causes. When Hannah arrives at the farm unexpectedly, however, it’s anything but a joyful occasion.

Duncan, the chatty parrot Hannah left in her aunt’s care, has flown the coop. What’s more, her aunt is in serious trouble.

Hannah has helped Ivy with many a tricky situation and it’s time to return the favor. Solving the mystery takes them deep into the world of bird enthusiasts. Is Hannah’s aunt the victim of a terrible crime... or the perpetrator? Only the saucy secrets of a winged wisecracker can help the team get answers before someone else flies.

The next book in the Bought-the-Farm Mystery Series is a perfect page-turner for lovers of animals and funny, spunky amateur sleuths.
