Bandit: And The Lost Creek (Bandit The Ferret Book 3)

When the beloved creek that winds through Dill Farm mysteriously dries up overnight, panic floods the barnyard. Clucky can’t soak her feet, Gus declares a drought emergency, and Brock the badger is muddier—and grumpier—than ever. But clever little Bandit the ferret suspects something bigger is at play.

Following the dry creek upstream, Bandit discovers that the water has been blocked—by a dam built on the far side of the Barrier, deep in the neighboring woods. There, a secretive clan of beavers believes the animals of Dill Farm stole something precious from them—and they won’t release a single drop until it’s returned.

With Harriet the owl, the mischievous twin mice, and a reluctant Brock at his side, Bandit must solve a muddy mystery, uncover the truth behind a missing heirloom, and rebuild trust between old neighbors before the farm dries up for good.

Full of heart, humor, and woodland adventure, Bandit and the Lost Creek is a tale of unlikely friendships, stubborn creatures, and what it truly means to be a “Bridge Builder.”

Perfect for readers ages 6–10 who love talking animals, cozy mysteries, and unforgettable critter quests.
