Mystery of the Bear Cub

The boys are down in the dumpsliterally! Someone is dumping trash on the Wilder Family Campground's property. It's bad for the campground, and bad for the wildlife there, too. When Cooper Wilder and his friends, Packrat and Roy, find a fox in the woods with its head stuck in a jar, they know it's time to investigate. But when the boys start digging, they stumble headlong into the path of a garbage truck, toxic waste, and a black bear looking for its cub. Tamra Wight keeps the adventures coming in Book 4 of the award-winning Cooper & Packrat series.
