The Secret Life of Pets meets Spy School as furry friends come out of retirement to do some secret spy work sure to inspire chuckles aplenty (Kirkus Reviews) in this hilarious companion to The Great Pet Heist and The Great Ghost Hoax.
Big plans are afoot! Butterbean is going to become a therapist (unless maybe she means a therapy dog). The white cat is going to do a commercial for caviar-flavored pet treats. And Wallace is moving into a great new apartment. But these plans dont include a group of rowdy raccoons taking over the loading dock and throwing the building into turmoil.
Now residents from the whole building are coming to the Strathmore Seven for helpfrom Second Floor Biscuit, a Yorkie with an unfortunate haircut who faces eviction for barking at the intruders, to the loading dock rats, who are feeling intimidated and upset. And even worse, Madison gets blamed for the vandalism! Its up to Butterbean and the rest of the pets to stop the raccoons and restore their friends reputationbefore its too late.
