'The first book in the exciting new Freewheelers series that combines adventure and mystery. The Freewheelers are a gang of four friends - the twins, Clem and Darcy, and Bryce and Mio. They spend their spare time trick riding on their push bikes or hanging out in the old abandoned kombi van in the alley next to the park. One day while at the park the kids see a man mistreating a beagle he is walking. They decide to rescue the dog and in the process discover something far more sinister - a pedigree-dog laundering ring. The dogs are beloved pets that are stolen, taken to the local pound and marked as 'deceased'. They are then sold to unknown buyers. The Freewheelers will need to use all their skills to outwit these criminals and save the dogs.' (Publication summary)
