A rescue farm. A rising creek. A mystery hidden upstream. What parents and educators are saying about The Tiger Chronicles : "My students love reading The Tiger Chronicles series! The books are so engaging for my second and third grade students." — 5-star Amazon review from an elementary teacher Renee loves spending time at the Animal Rescue Farm. From curious chickens to friendly goats, every visit brings something new to discover. But a few days later, something unexpected happens. Water begins creeping across the basement floor. The creek behind the house is higher than usual. The water keeps rising. And nobody seems to know why. With Tiger close by, Renee begins searching for clues. Strange changes near the creek seem connected in ways she can't explain. The more she investigates, the bigger the mystery becomes. But some mysteries aren't solved by finding a missing object. And some clues lead to places no one expects. Can Renee and Tiger uncover the truth before the flooding gets worse? Along the way, they learn that sometimes understanding a problem is just as important as solving it.
