In this fifth installment of Cooper & Packrat (or as I like to think of them as modern day Hardy Boys), the unique wintertime setting is at the Wilder family campground in Maine. Aspiring game warden Cooper Wilder and his friend Packrat, the boy of many pockets, are setting up for the winter festival when they learn of a poacher in the area. These eco-mysteries are fun to read and the environmental intrigue is perfect for outdoorsy middle-grade readers. They are also good read alouds, especially for predicting what will happen, but I would start with the first book. Tamara Wight is from Maine.
