Description:
When the magical towers protecting Cluckton Gulch mysteriously fail, sheriffs Bo and Mr. Quillery must uncover the truth before the Wolf Cartel destroys the town.
An urgent message from Barnaby Beakfeather sends Bo and Mr. Quillery racing to Cluckton Gulch and Prairie Town. The protective towers have been sabotaged, leaving residents exposed to the Wolf Cartel and Coyote Gang. With a mysterious newcomer at their side and time running out, our heroes must solve the mystery of the broken towers before it's too late.
But the greatest danger may not be the wolves at the gate-it's learning to trust someone new when the stakes have never been higher. Bo and Mr. Quillery discover what faithfulness and selflessness really mean when believing in others seems impossible.
Perfect for young readers (grades 1-4) who loved Book 1 and want more adventures with the heart of Narnia, the depth of Redwall and The Green Ember, and humor that rivals Hank the Cowdog.
Book 2 in The Adventures of Bo and Mr. Quillery series - with illustrations on nearly every page. Book 3: The Stolen Necklace coming April 2026.
Review Quotes:
"Infused with imaginative Western justice and a slew of heartfelt lessons, this second installment in The Adventures of Bo and Quillery, a series about a pair of friendly farm animal sheriffs on a mission, is further proof that a friendship between a Great Pyrenees dog and a quail has not only taken its place in the hearts of readers across the nation, but soon the world. Once again, author Andrew K. Johnston spares no expense in his narrative presentation, including high-quality illustrations by Leo Hartas, which lend to Johnston's unique vision of a chapter book with a storybook feel. Johnston musters even more creative strength into his prose this time around, offering a fistful of memorable lines and some jaw-dropping moments of epic, kinetic action. There's never been another series like this, and it keeps getting better." - Heirloom Book Club
