Description

Amy, a member of the Critter Club, discovers she has a natural talent for training puppies after helping a new client at her mom's vet clinic. Her success spreads quickly, and soon she's overwhelmed with more puppy-training requests than she can handle, leaving little time for school or her friends. As the pressure mounts, Amy must decide whether she can keep up with the demand or learn to say no before everything gets out of hand.

Quick Summary

If you know a kid who's obsessed with dogs or has ever dreamed of running their own puppy business, Amy is about to become their new hero. This book follows a girl who finds out she's got a genuine talent for training puppies until she gets a little too ambitious and ends up with way more clients than she can handle. It's funny and relatable, especially for kids who sometimes overestimate how much they can fit into their schedules. The chaos that ensues is entertaining without being scary, and there's a warm message underneath about learning to say no and asking for help when you need it. Young readers who love animals, humor, and stories about everyday mishaps will likely zoom through this one. It reads like a fun, quick chapter book that's perfect for kids transitioning from picture books to longer stories, and fans of the "Puppy Place" series might recognize the same cozy, animal-focused vibe here.
