(Book)

Translation of: Crimes à la ferme, la mystérieuse disparition de Vache.

"One fall morning the farm animals all realize that someone is missing... AGAIN! This time, it's Cow, and her poor calves have been left to their own devices, making mischief around the barn. Hen squawks about in devastation, Sheep knits in an anxious frenzy, Raccoon looks for something to eat... The only thing left to do is to call Inspector Billiam Van Hoof - the world's one (and only) not-so-reliable but ever enthusiastic goat detective. From unexpected encounters with an old goat-school girlfriend, to crop circles and conspiracies about alien abductions and cows in space, the trail to finding their missing friend is uncertain and they begin to suspect the worst--Is cow being forced to replace the broken trailer and till the fields? Has she run away? Been turned into hamburgers? Abducted by aliens?--Could the farmer himself be the alien culprit?! Suddenly, the farmer pulls up with a trailer and, just before the animals all run screaming, Cow steps out. She has won first place at the country fall fair! The animals all celebrate her victory and the inspector pats himself on the back for yet another case solved. A silly and irresistible graphic novel for young readers. Every page is full of delightful details, hidden jokes, and engaging characters. Returning and new readers alike will find lots to love in this latest mystery."-- Provided by publisher.
