Overview
Their favorite campground is opening for winter break, so Cooper, Packrat, Roy, and Summer are excited for snowy fun while helping plan a winter festival. But when they see a lynx kit wearing a pet collar, watch a reckless snowmobiler dash across the ice, and are warned about a dangerous poacher, the young detectives and some cool new friends set off on their most exciting adventure yet. Can they solve the mystery and protect the camp's wildlife from poachers before it's too late? Award-winning author Tamra Wight returns with her fifth installment in the Cooper and Packrat series and this time she introduces readers to a whole new season of fun, more excitement than ever, and even a hint of young romance at the Wilder Family Campground.

Tamra now works as a teaching assistant at a Maine middle school, where her students inspire her daily. Tamra also enjoys wildlife photography, geo-caching, campfires with s'mores, snowshoeing, hiking, and sailing on Casco Bay. You may or may not find her when she hides in the Maine woods camouflaged under her poncho-shaped “cloak of invisibility" while she takes pictures of porcupines, coyotes, deer or fox.
