About this Book:

You’ve heard of police dogs. Now meet a detective dog: Ivy, part Chow, part Labrador Retriever, all super sleuth. When a thief begins stalking her neighborhood, Shandon, Ivy rallies her friends, other neighborhood pets, to help her sniff out the thief. There’s Ernest, an English pug who’s an astute thinker; Hoover, a hyper Jack Russell Terrier; Lovely, an aging greyhound racing star; Spooky, a homeless cat; and Marigold, a canary. And when the mystery takes a romantic turn, there’s Blitz, a handsome police dog who admires Ivy's civic spirit – but underestimates her nose for intrigue. With dogged determination, Ivy and her friends sort through clues to find the felon, a screeching creature whose shrill cries fill their hearts with terror -- but not for long. Ultimately, the thief is no match for “Shandon’s Ivy League” of canine, feline, and avian crime-solvers.

Book Review:

This is a clever, delightfully different children's book that the author actually field-tested on a middle-school creative writing class while writing it -- and thenincorporated many of the students' suggestions into the story!
