Kind deeds. Zero credit. One top-secret case.
Someone is sneaking around the ranch... doing GOOD DEEDS. Pawpaw's chores are finished before dawn. The chicken feed bin refills itself overnight (the hens are suspiciously round about it). And Boo the bunny - lost in the pasture for three whole days - is back on the porch swing, brushed clean and waiting for Brynlee.
It's the strangest case Riley and Rowdy have ever taken: usually spies chase trouble, but this sneak is sneaking around being KIND. Not everything is as it seems!
Stakeout by stakeout, the spies crack it: Avery secretly fixing the squeak in Arabella's pink jeep. Arabella leaving wildflowers on Pawpaw's chair. Mikayla sneaking treats and clean beds to the barn cats. Even Pawpaw, oiling gates before sunup. EVERYONE is a secret helper - and every single one thinks they're the only one.
Everyone... except whoever left the very first clues. One moonlit barn stakeout later, the spies catch the original Secret Helper - and hear the story that started it all: When I was a stray, somebody left food out for me every night. I never found out who. Kindest secret I ever knew. Been paying it back ever since.
Then comes the biggest spy decision in the series: some cases you close... and some you PROTECT. Cue Operation Kindness - mission rules (notice who needs it, never get caught, NEVER tell), a dawn woodpile raid, one very nearly blown cover, and a supper where everybody hides the same small smile. Only the reader knows everything - and kids love being the one spy who does.
Kids will practice real kindness-spy skills:
- Spot who needs a hand (a heavy load, a tired face, an empty bowl, a lonely spot)
- Serve in secret - never for credit, and small counts
- Pay it forward
- Keep a kind secret
Includes a fill-in Secret Kindness Mission Log (status: UNDETECTED), a TOP SECRET Kindness Spy Certificate, and ranch science about how animals secretly help each other too. Author Tami Schultz - biologist, software developer, and real-life rancher - lives on the South Texas ranch where the real Riley and Rowdy patrol every night. Book 5 of the Spy Kittens series, perfect for ages 4-8.
