“A mess of duct tape. A missing dress.
Can Scout and Barnaby bring the dress destroyer to justice?
Scout may be too young to be a Trailblazer camper, but she’s not too young to solve a mystery.
When a handmade duct tape dress disappears from the craft shed, Scout is ready to investigate.
Too bad the counselor thinks she’s just a kid.
Along with her trusty canine sidekick, Barnaby, Scout is determined to crack the case—before the Camp Gala begins and the culprit gets away with it.”

My personal Rating-
Scout and Barnaby are on the trail of another mystery in this book and I really liked seeing their teamwork. I wasn’t sure what happened to the camp counselor’s duct tape dress, so it was interesting to follow the clues.
I was very excited to see the preview for the next book in this series, “The Case of the Ice Cream Incident”! I don’t know when that one will be releasing, but I look forward to reading it when it does!
See y’all on Friday with a new review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
