Synopsis

Meghan, Tony and Jack are convinced that there's something very strange going on at the local rodeo and it seems to involve the rodeo clowns. One of the clowns, despite his cheery-looking clown makeup is creepy and frightening. Meghan sees him sneak out of the Rodeo Show Tent and drop something shiny. She searches the dry dusty ground and discovers an old rodeo belt buckle. From the clown's menacing actions Meghan wants to take the buckle to the RCMP Tent straight away, but first she must do her volunteer shift at the Petting Zoo with her friend, Samantha, and feed Billy-the-goat who is a star attraction in the Petting Zoo. The sinister clown follows Meghan and Sam as they make their way to the Zoo, but then disappears. A crowd of unruly youths create a disturbance in the Zoo tent. Meghan and Samantha discover that their bags have been emptied and searched. Meghan decides to hide the buckle in Billy's stall for safety. The girls are attacked and bound and gagged. Tony and Jack rescue them. Billy-the-goat is a great help, and the mystery of the silver buckle is finally solved.

About this title

About the Author

Gerald grew up in war-torn Britain during WWII. He watched the RAF spitfires fight the Battle of Britain in the skies overhead and was directly affected by the fighting when the family home was bombed and they had to move, only to find the move ultimately brought them in the direct path of the V-bombs aimed at London. When the war was over he attended the two oldest schools in England. Gerald was in the British army before moving to Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) where he was a Detective Inspector in the police. He moved his family to Canada in 1967 and in 1970 they moved from Montreal to White Rock a small community south of Vancouver where he still lives today.
