📖 Mercy Watson Fights Crime

In the book Mercy Watson Fights Crime, the owner of three pigs gets caught up in the middle of a burglary when she hears the sound of the toaster in the kitchen while looking for a midnight snack. Leroy Ninker, a short-time thief, is in the process of breaking into the Watsons' home and finds himself caught in the middle of his own misdoings because, as Mercy makes her way downstairs, she can't find anything to eat and falls asleep at the front door, causing Leroy to stumble and trip to the floor. After an eventful rodeo ride through the town, Leroy gets pinned down under the weight of the pig (while Mercy searched Leroy's pockets for butterscotch candy). The police arrive on the scene to discover that Mercy is sitting on Leroy, so Mercy is once again a hero and is rewarded for being a good pig.
