Benny Bensky and the Giant Pumpkin HeistBy: Mary Borsky Illustrator: Linda Hendry Benny Bensky is a big black dog with a nose for trouble. His owner, Rosie, and her best friend, Fran, are growing a giant pumpkin for the Giant Pumpkin Weigh off and it looks like first prize (a ride on the first float in the parade at the country fair) is within their reach. But soon Benny and the girls are involved in solving a nefarious crime: someone is stealing the pumpkins, and whats worse the detective

with the country barely recovered from the Civil War

the fates of three women are inextricably linked to this place and to one another: Sarah

gigantic bulldozers

alongside the downright misleading when it comes to the world of food and diet

• Comprehensive cross-referencing

and wondered when her own love story might begin

As pressures mount and danger increases
