Bernie Magruder & the Bats in the Belfry

In Middleburg, strange posters alert the town to the presence of Indiana Aztec bats—rumored to be dangerous. Meanwhile, incessant church bell ringing is driving everyone batty! Young detective Bernie Magruder, with help from friends Georgene and Weasel, investigates the rumors, confronts quirky townsfolk, and uncovers the real story behind the bats and the nonstop belfry chimes.

Packed with humor, oddball characters, and clever sleuthing, this entry in the Bernie Magruder series blends friendship, small‑town charm, and spooky mysteries in a kid‑friendly format
