This sequel to Trouble at Turtle Pond finds fifth grader Miles and his friends, the Backyard Rangers, investigating another wildlife mystery. Someone is “baiting” the owls in the nearby forest—feeding the owls white mice to coax them out of hiding—and the rangers are determined to find out who, and why. The mystery lacks suspense, but readers will learn plenty about owls, including about their habitat and diet; what threatens them; and ways to protect them.
