Book excerpt: Who would ever imagine a teenage girl and her Chihuahua could find themselves in the middle of a plot for their demise, all the while investigating the mystery of Bigfoot? Molly Wiggins and her fearless dog Taco have become entangled in a mystery that puts them in harm’s way! The ingredients - Molly the average teenager, living with her average family in an average town with her exceptional Chihuahua (he can convey thoughts to Molly), meld into one incredible adventure. Enter witch wanna-be Adele Haddington, who has a potion, spell, or curse for every possible situation. There’s just one problem – Adele’s ineptness brings untold misery upon herself when her spells backfire. Our story takes place in Riverton whose one noteworthy feature is Misty Mountain.

The unfortunate thing for Bob is that Adele has him in her crosshairs for a marriage partner. The unaware Molly and Taco are part of that equation. But a surprise awaits Adele as she plans - then executes - her grand scheme!
