The Case of the Greedy Goat is the seventh story in the Private
Investigators Club series. If you have read the introductions to
the other stories in the series, you will appreciate the fact that
the young detectives like solving mysteries. The story starts with
Tommy reporting that he has received an invitation for the club
members to have a holiday at Mr. J's cottage in return for helping
him open it for the summer. With some difficulty he leads them
through the formal procedures to accept the invitation. They are
driven to Chaffey's Lock and taken by boat to a remote cottage on
Scott Island. While working on the task of getting the water system
working, their cell phones mysteriously disappear. Mr. J suspects
the Greedy Goat has eaten them. The story continues as the
detectives search for their phones, assist with some difficult
maintenance tasks and have a few adventures. They fear that Mr. J
has flipped and try, unsuccessfully, to escape. Luckily, it all
works out in the end. The stories in the Private Investigators Club
series are readers for students of age eight or older. People of
any age who are learning English as a Second Language may find them
entertaining and educational. This story explains the Canadian
obsession with lakes and cottages, providing insight into some of
the joys and frustrations of owning a cottage. After each chapter,
there is a list of definitions of those words used for the first
time and a lesson that explores the situation in the chapter. Some
questions are suitable discussion topics, others require using the
Internet. Answers are provided so you can determine whether or not
you really understand what is going on. There are many jokes or
humorous situations in the story. Because some readers will not get
the joke, a chapter titled Humor Explained identifies what the
author is trying to do with the amusing sections. Anyone interested
in writing in English is invited to produce another story in the
series. Details are provided on the Publisher's website. The
Publisher wishes to encourage students to do creative writing and
will accept submissions on any topic. Periodically, an eBook of
submitted stories is published so this is one way for you to become
an established author.
