Freddy and Mr. Camphor

In this 11th installment of the beloved Freddy the Pig series, Freddy, tired of his banking and newspaper duties, takes on a summer job as a caretaker for a grand estate. He encounters the quirky Mr. Camphor and his butler, a human criminal named Zebedee Winch, and a menacing gang of rats led by Simon. When Freddy is framed for theft, he must rely on his wits and the loyalty of his animal friends from Bean Farm to uncover the truth and restore justice. The story is filled with Brooks' signature humor, clever wordplay through a proverb game, and themes of perseverance, friendship, and problem-solving, all set against a light backdrop of WWII-era patriotism. Ideal for children aged 4-11, it's a delightful read-aloud or independent chapter book.
