Bandit: And the Pie Thief

Bandit the Ferret

By: Chad Martin

Narrated by: A.W. McClellan

The Festival of Pies has finally arrived—and Bandit the ferret has never been more excited (or hungrier). But when the most famous pie on the farm mysteriously vanishes just before judging, all eyes turn to the mischievous ferret with a history of "sampling" sweets.

Determined to clear his name, Bandit launches an investigation with the help of his pint-sized sidekicks, Whiskers and Paws, a suspiciously poetic goose, and the ever-watchful Mrs. Harriet Owl. As pie crumbs lead to hidden secrets, shady ingredients, and a retired baking society hidden in the woods, Bandit uncovers a plot that threatens more than just dessert.

Can Bandit crack the case before the festival is canceled—and prove that sometimes the smallest creatures make the best detectives?

Packed with laughs, twists, and a whole lot of pie, Bandit and the Pie Thief is a cozy, clever adventure about friendship, fairness, and the joy of sharing something sweet.

Perfect for ages 6–10, fans of animal tales, and anyone who believes every mystery deserves a second helping.
