Tales from Deckawoo Drive #2 Francine Poulet Meets the Ghost Racoon by Kate DiCamillo illustrated by Chris Van Dusen*

The second novel from Deckawoo Drive
Francine Poulet is the third generation animal control officer.  She is solid as refrigerator and is never, ever scared.
Until . . .Mrs. Bissinger calls her to remove a racoon from her roof.  A racoon who shimmers and screams her name.
Will the ghost racoon destroy Francine Poulet's reputation and dissolve her resolve?
Francine finds that she herself may need rescuing and Frank, a young boy from Deckawoo Drive, may have just the words to put her back up on the roof to face the Ghost Racoon.
Of course, buttered toast is served in the story!
*Highly recommend.
I read this book aloud to the boys in one sitting.  We love this series and the Mercy Watson series!
This series is for those readers who loved Mercy Watson and her friends and now are a more advanced reader.  The word choice and sentence structure is more challenging.
Borrowed from the library.
