Character Study for Cocoa McCracken from The Tales of Boots McGee

In the words of Mary Elizabeth Arwady~

Cocoa McCracken, A lovely black squirrel,
A good friend of Boots, for a long time, this girl,
Sent Boots a message, "we need you, you'll see,
To help us solve a big fudge mystery!"


To Mackinac Island, he sailed due north,
Cocoa in the harbor, she paced back and forth.
She was so sweet, the most stylish of squirrels,
With flowers in her hair and classic white pearls.
