The boys are down in the dumps--literally! Someone is dumping trash on the Wilder Family Campground's property. It's bad for the campground, and bad for the wildlife, too. When Cooper, 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 and a hungry black bear. Tamra Wight keeps the adventures coming in book four of the award-winning Cooper & Packrat Adventures.Author Biography
