Dog Diaries: Mission Impawsible

'A perfect story to tickle the funny bone of any young reader!' MEGAN RIX 
 
AAAAAAAAAAAGH! 
 
Something terrible is going on, my person-pal! Something so DREADFUL, it’s enough to curl your tail with TERROR (if you have one, of course)... 
 
A spine-jangling HOWLING has been heard in the middle of the night, favorite toys have been STOLEN, trash bags have been SHREDDED and all the best pee-spots have been RE-SCENTED! 
 
It must have something to do with the NIGHT OF THE HOWLY WIENER, which is only days away… 
 
Can I find the evil mastermind who is TERRIER-izing our town?!

Dog Diaries: Curse of the Mystery Mutt

I have something very IM-PAW-TANT to tell you... 
 
I was with my mutt mates in the dog park when we saw something MONSTROUS through the trees...I recognized it straight away. It was a huge DINO-ROAR! 
 
Now, I know what you're thinking - dino-roars don't exist anymore, right? WRONG. I spotted one in the flesh, well in the bone...And it smelt tail-waggingly tasty! 
 
I followed its sniff-a-licious scent to the BIGGEST building I've ever seen, and the smells coming from inside were the most dusty, moldy, oldy, dirt-lectable whiffs I've ever wrapped my snout around. 
 
I don't know what the humongous building is, but what I do know is that I just HAVE to get inside. It will be the greatest challenge my pooch pack have ever faced!

Dog Diaries: Dinosaur Disaster!

'A perfect story to tickle the funny bone of any young reader!' MEGAN RIX 
 
I can’t wait to get to the most magical place in the world—THE WOODS! Just imagine all the adventures… 
 
· Doggy-paddling in the lake 
· Barking at raccoons 
· And my quest to find the greatest stick in the universe! 
 
But all my best plans are ruined when Iona Stricker—the most miserable, cruel, and obedience-loving human you could ever hope not to meet—shows up, making any fun impossible. 
 
Until… a canine criminal, escaped from POOCH PRISON, sneaks into the camp and changes everything! 
 
This vacation might be fun after all!
