A new mystery for Jack Russell, Dog Detective, in book two, The Phantom Mudder.
The Phantom Mudder by Darrel and Sally Odgers (Kane / Miller Book Publishers, ISBN 1-933605-19-7) brings back all our favorite characters from the first book, Dog Den Mystery. First and foremost, there is Jack, dog detective and super-sniffer. Foxy is also back and is now the full-time companion to Auntie Tidge.
In this latest book, Sarge and Jack are helping out at the dog show in Doggeroo. However, when dogs start getting muddied right before their showing, Jack is on the case.
Who is dumping mud on the dogs and, most importantly, why? Jack has a major mystery to solve. With the help of his friends, Foxy and Red, he uses his super-sniffer and the process of elimination to solve the mystery of The Phantom Mudder.
The Jack Russell: Dog Detective series are excellent books for children who are beginning to read chapter books. The books have no violence or bad language in them. In fact, they are a true pleasure to read and children love the characters and plot.
