A Hog Killin’ Time - “Chimpin’ Ain’t Easy”
Written by Brandon L. Joyner
Synopsis:
Welcome to “A Hog Killin’ Time,” where the Wild West is wilder than ever in the bustling town of Giddy-Up Gulch! Prudence Beaumont and her crew keep things lively at The Scratchin’ Post, but life takes an unexpected turn when Lucky Allman hears thrilling news: Wilder’s Traveling Circus is rolling into town. As Pru, Lucky, Marion, and Cleveland get swept up in the spectacle of acrobats, exotic beasts, and a fortune-telling Madam Zara, the night quickly spirals from fun and games into a tangle of secrets behind the big top. When the ringmaster’s real motives begin to surface, our heroes must rely on their wits—and maybe a clever monkey or two—to save the day. Can Pru and her friends untangle the circus’s mysteries before it’s too late? Or will the greatest show on earth leave Giddy-Up Gulch changed forever?
