Book details
Strange Neighbors (Sam: Dog Detective)
Description
Having the ability to read the mind of Sam, her neighbor's dog, Jennie picks up signals that something is amiss at the house next door, and realizes that she needs to help her canine friend solve the mystery in order to put an end to the odd events. Jennie Levinsky can hear what her neighbors' sheepdog, Sam, is thinking, and the junk-food-loving dog detective is thinking up more misadventures in this fast-paced, funny mystery. Sam: Dog Detective thinks there's a mystery brewing right next door! Three very odd women have moved in with a house full of caged animals. What's more, a scary-looking man comes and goes at odd hours. Sam is convinced the new neighbors are witches. After all, those animals look so wretched they must be under a spell. Curiously, Sam isn't feeling well, either. Have the witches put a hex on her, too? Can Sam, together with Jennie and her best friend, Beth, discover the truth before it's too late?
