The Covered Bridge Mystery

What kind of creep lurks just waiting to steal from Mammi or Dawdi? Poppy and Sadie never expected a real, honest-to-goodness burglar to strike in their close-knit, Old Order Mennonite community in Middlebury, Indiana. The pie-swiping culprit mystifies everyone by stashing all the stolen evidence inside the dusky-dark, covered bridge near Dawdi's farm. 

Is the thief-on-the-loose tempting the suspicious cousins to catch him—or her? Jonah, who's developmentally disabled and distraught, fears the burglar will hurt his grandparents. And to make matters worse, Mammi and Dawdi refuse to lock their barn and house—even at night. Using an apple pie as bait, the junior detectives set a trap. Will these amateur sleuths nab the criminal or will the bandit remain on the run in this cozy mystery in the children's Middlebury Mystery series?
