Frances Darwin Investigates

One day Frances Darwin finds a bit of torn paper on the ground. This excites Frances, as she would love to be a detective. This bit of paper sends Frances on a "wild goose chase" that leads her to find a stray dog called Bouncer. Finding out about Bouncer leads her onto to find his owner, who becomes a big part of Frances’s life. Before Frances knows it, she has become involved in an investigation to find out who is dog-napping dogs in the local area. During her inquiries, she meets and makes friends with the Randall children Tom and Cindy, who help her capture the dog-nappers. Frances’s formidable Gran also becomes friendly with Bouncer’s owner, and Mrs. Marsh next door makes friends with Hannah Mortimer, a retired teacher. They both had their dogs taken, and help with the plan to foil the dog-nappers.
