When a rabid racoon and a pack of infected wild dogs invade Mansfield, Missouri, no one is safe.

Willy Bently, their rival, is determined to get them in trouble. And now Mr. Palugee, Mansfield's pack rat, thinks that they've been playing around his house and trying to steal his "treasures."

5.0 out of 5 stars Farewell to the Younguns, January 2, 2008

This review is from: The Younguns of Mansfield (The Younguns, Bk. 1) (Paperback)

I read all of The Younguns books by T.L. Tedrow when they first came out, and eagerly awaited the release of each new title--with one wait being over a decade now (more on that later). The books are about mischievous siblings without a mom, who are pretty much left to their own devices by their father, a well-meaning but busy Reverend.

It has been a huge disappointment that, not only did the series go out of print, but it was never finished. There were even, if I recall correctly, rumors of a television show. It appears that a total of at least eight books were planned, but only four seem to have made it to press. Hopefully one day the books will be republished and the series completed. It remains a mystery as to what caused the demise of what was promising to be an amazingly funny and enjoyable series for all ages. Thanks to Amazon, you can buy used copies of this series and at least enjoy the first four books of this unfinished symphony.

This review is from: The Younguns of Mansfield (The Younguns, Bk. 1) (Paperback)

I thought the book "The Younguns of Mansfield was terrific. I always have trouble finding something wrong with the stories about the Youguns, and this time I could not find anything wrong. I thought it was wonderfuly written and had a practically flawless storyline.
