In this winter adventure, Cricket and her friends discover that a cougar has visited Waterton and are thrilled that school is closed for a few days. The townspeople are worried, though, and want the cougar caught. There are reports of it causing all kinds of trouble around town – but what if it’s innocent? The friends find evidence that another animal may be to blame, but can they convince the townspeople? Can they save the cougar before it’s trapped or killed?

Cougar Frenzy is the fourth chapter book featuring animal activist Cricket McKay, following Bats in Trouble, Salamander Rescue and Ospreys in Danger.

What readers are saying

The entire family enjoyed this book. Great Canadian nature books. We waited for everyone to be home to read aloud. Cindy, January 2020

I liked reading Cougar Frenzy. My teacher read it in our class. My favourite part was at the end when they solve the mystery. Cricket was right! We did research to learn more about cougars all over the world. Matthew, Grade 3

Amazing book for Grade 3! About conservation. I bought the rest of the series! Shawna, December 2019
