The Barn That Crowed

About the Book

Annabelle grew up in New Richmond, Indiana, a small village of less than 500 residents. Roosters in the upstairs window of an unpainted barn (the Oswalt barn) by a pond, allowed her imagination to go wild. 

Anne Davey Koomans, with the help of Amanda and Joyce, will teach you what you can hear, what you can see, what you can learn, and what you can imagine, in a Barn that Crows.

Come follow Amanda Martin, her best friend Joyce and their siblings and friends in a small town following World War Two. Enjoy as the girls discover their inner sleuthing abilities as they help solve crimes and face their fears in the many adventures that they experience!
