A Dog-Friendly Town

Ages 8 to 12

Won at auction, this second middle-grade novel from Josephine Cameron pairs heart and adventure with every kid's favorite animal: dogs!

Twelve-year-old Epic McDade isn't ready for middle school. He'd rather help out at his family's dog-friendly bed n' breakfast all summer, than return to his alternative elementary school in the fall, where learning feels safe. But change comes in all shapes and fur colors. When Carmelito, California, is named America's #1 Dog-Friendly Town, all the top dogs and their owners pour into Epic's sleepy seaside neighborhood for a week of celebration.

The McDades are in dog heaven with all the new business until a famous dog's jewel-encrusted collar goes missing. Every guest is a suspect, and Epic will have to embrace new friends and new ideas to sniff out the culprit before the week is through.

This delightfully cozy caper is sure to excite dog-lovers and gentle mystery readers alike!
