The book starts when kids Pete, Fee and Ozzie are taken to live on their Grandmother’s farm in Frogsville. Due to the fact that the local school doesn’t work out, mischief is their daily routine. With a big problem on the farm the kids form the Pobblebonk Earth Detective Club!! Great informative adventures ensue.
This is a really great book I will read again and again, there are amazing illustrations, it’s simply a beautiful book with a great storyline that kids like me will enjoy.
