Stanley, George Edward. Mr. Jolly's third-grade detectives #3

Ready-for-chapters.

When her dog Rover is accused of tearing up Mrs. Ruston's tomato plants, Noelle investigates with her friend Todd and finds long yellow hairs that may point to the real culprit. Hair, hair, everywhere, someone's been digging up Mrs. Ruston's tomatoes. She thinks it's Noelle's dog, Rover, and unless Noelle can find the real thief, Rover's in big trouble. It's the hairiest case yet for Mr. Merlin's Third-Grade Detectives. Hair in Mrs. Ruston's tomato patch, hair in Amber Lee's hamburger, can Noelle and Todd comb through the evidence and solve the mystery?
