About This Book
How does Dixie Morris get into so many mixups all at once? Jared Eagle moves into the neighborhood and teaches Dixie how to train falcons. That won't make problems--or will it? Billy Joe Satterfield picks on the new boy, and English class explodes. Dixie and Jared can't be blamed for that--or can they? Dixie needs $500 to go on the church missions trip. That is $500 she doesn't have. But she'll get it--or will she? And then Billy Joe shoots an endangered bird. Dixie and Jared should tell Sheriff Peck--or should they? Join Dixie and Jared in their adventures, and see how the questions get answered in Dixie and Perry.
