Description
Agnes's community service project, a dog show at the Brookside Retirement Village, gives her an opportunity to repair her relationship with Heather, her former best friend. Book #1
Quick Summary
This book kicks off a dog show at a retirement village that becomes the unexpected perfect chance for two former best friends to mend their broken friendship. Kids will wag their tails for the paws-on chaos of training rescue dogs, the silly retirement home residents, and the heartwarming moments when old and young characters discover they have more in common than they thought. If your kid likes the friendship-drama humor of "Judy Moody" or the animal antics of "Dog Man," they'll eat this up. With an AR Level 3.5 and a 10,728-word count, this hits the sweet spot for first through third graders ready to move beyond easy readers but still crave short, satisfying stories.
