Join Lucky and Bud, two gifted young squirrel athletes, as they pursue their dream of participating in the Squirrel Olympics. Coached by Lucky’s grandpa, himself a former Olympic champion, they train every day before and after school for nearly a year to qualify for the big games, realizing that only by hard work and unwavering dedication to their goal will they succeed. They also know that there are no shortcuts to success, something they come to learn may not necessarily be shared by all their competitors. In fact, over time, they begin to wonder if some of the athletes are benefitting from an unfair advantage. So, drawing on their crime-solving skills practiced in The Adventures of Lucky and Bud: The Pursuit, the boys decide to investigate while continuing to prepare for and then participate in the Olympic games. What will they find? Are there cheaters in the Olympics? And in the end, can they stay focused to overcome these challenges and become Olympic champions?

Francis C. Pengitore, a retired U.S. Army officer and adjunct university professor, has enjoyed teaching graduate and undergraduate students for over 20 years, and although he has numerous academic articles and papers to his credit, he is relatively new to young adult fiction, publishing the first book in this series, The Adventures of Lucky and Bud: The Rescue, in 2021. His interest and personal experience with animal rescue and rehabilitation, along with a love of mystery stories, served as inspiration for this story. His hobbies include military history, baseball, old movies, model railroading, the outdoors, and gardening. He lives in Virginia Beach with his wife, Diana, their beagle, Bennie, and Righty, their rescued calico cat.
