Finalist in The Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards (9 - 12yrs category)

Missing puppies. Deadly secrets. Serious slobber.

All Honey the Great Dane ever wanted was a peaceful life – walking her human, checking Peemail at the park - but when neighbourhood puppies start disappearing, life takes a sinister turn. Why are dead scarab beetles found after each disappearance? Do the strange markings on a gravestone really spell out an ancient Egyptian curse? And what about Max, the Pit Bull with a murky past, who seems to be hiding secrets of his own...can Honey risk everything and trust him or will it cost her the chance to save the puppies?

Perfect for fans of Erin Hunter's 'Warriors' and 'Survivors' series. Kids & dog lovers of all ages will enjoy this action-packed mystery filled with suspense and humour! (Age: 9yrs+ Upper Middle Grade/Young teen adventure)

* WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

"My daughter NEVER reads and couldn't put this book down. She signed up for the newsletter so she can be notified when the next book comes out!!" - Amazon reviewer

"The author has a great voice with a wonderful sense of humour." - Indie Abode Book Reviews

"We are loving this book. My 10 year old son who has a short attention span cannot get enough. I love how suspenseful it is." - Amazon reviewer

"I've read a few books marketed for middle-grades or younger this year and I have to say that this is hands down the best suited for those ages. It has a great plot, some truly well-rounded characters (with more depth than what I find in most adult novels these days), a fantastic storyline and a climax that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Not only was this book highly entertaining but there are some great messages in it. I could easily see this transitioning to the big screen and that's not something I say very often." - Cory Balboni for LitChick Hit list

"If you want to get your middle grade reader interested in picking up books, then this is a great place to start. " - Net Galley reviewer

“This one is a page-turner. The canine characters are fantastic” – Alison Campbell, Nor Any Drop to Read.com

"I've been a teacher for many years and I think this story is spot-on. It deals with important issues, but they are an integral part of the plot, and there is no 'preaching'." - Amazon reviewer
