Bo and the Night Intruder — Lynn Sheffield Simmons

“Lynn Sheffield Simmons hits another home run in storytelling with her latest book Bo and the Night Intruder.”

-- Pete Incaviglia

Bo's undisciplined mischief has landed him and his owner, Mrs. Barnett, in the vet's office -- twice. Now in a splint and a special funnel-shaped collar, Bo is finally learning obedience. He even helps a new restaurant owner, the famous baseball player Pete Incaviglia, discover who has been breaking in and destroying the kitchen at night.

This is not the first time Bo's accidents and antics have ended up assisting police. In earlier Bo books, such as Bo, the Famous Retriever and Bo and the Missing Dogs, this bright and reliable labrador retriever manages to find clues in the most unlikely ways. In this adventure, Bo uncovers local importation of illegal aliens and saves a restaurant -- and its valuable sports memorabilia -- from destruction.
