Dogs are disappearing in her neighbourhood, and Maggie Brooklyn Sinclair knows all about it. After all, she has a semi-secret after-school gig as a professional (okay, amateur) dog walker. Maggie may have a lot of leads, but she never suspected her crush Milo could be involved...A stylish new tween mystery series featuring a clever and lovable heroine.
Clips the reader onto a touching, funny story-leash that twists and turns; dogs, their humans, twins of all ages, old friends and even apartments are not what they seem at first. At least not always... * Blue Balliett, author of Chasing Vermeer *
Maggie Brooklyn is a smart, funny, capable detective, and a real kid. Sequel, please. * Adam Rex, author of True Meaning of Smekday *
This is my kind of book! The mystery starts on page one. Then it's surprise after surprise, with lots of twists and turns-- and chilling suspense. * R.L. Stine *
While the well-crafted mysteries are foremost, it's the relatable, witty protagonist that makes this novel stand out....When this dog walker turned detective returns, she'll be welcome. * The Horn Book *
Maggie is a friendly and thoughtful narrator with a sharply logical mind; readers...will appreciate her intellect and bravery, and applaud her success. * Publishers Weekly *
