Kiran and Debbie had been picked to go on a country farm holiday. Norman was also staying at the farm, and he thought he knew everything about farms. | 'Men! They trap badgers and dig them out of their setts, and sometimes they make their dogs fight them,' said the Badgerman grimly. | 'There you are,' said Norman. 'I told you I know what's what! I bet that Badgerman is the rustler!' |
On the paper was a map with two marks on it. One was a cross and the other was a star. 'Let's take it,' said Debbie. | 'It's simple, Mr Deal,' said Barker. 'That's where he's bringing the ponies, and here's where we bring the big van.' | The Badgerman was waiting in another part of the moor. The two policemen with him did not look very pleased. |

'Oh good!' said Barker. 'I've always wanted a stuffed badger. Lend me your stick, Mr Deal. I'll knock him on the head.' | The pupil's pamphlet CLICK HERE for an even bigger scan of the cover, signed by the author! [193kb] | Badger Girl resources |
