Every town has secrets. This summer, one of them has four legs and a wagging tail.
What begins as a perfect day at Maplewood Park—Waffles the goldendoodle chasing frisbees and kids diving into the splash pool—turns into a race against time when the dog vanishes into thin air. Twelve‑year‑old Sera Craven and her friends know home alone classrooms and lost wallets, but a vanishing pup? That’s a first.
Clue by clue—a cryptic flyer taped to the community board, a QR code whispering of shady rescues, and a suspicious white van slipping through town—the case spirals into something far more dangerous: a fake‑rescue ring that traffics stolen pets instead of saving them.
With Professor Harrington’s unexpected historical connections and Sister Zita’s glitter bombs turning up more than just dead ends, the friends uncover a network masquerading as good Samaritans—but who are secretly shipping animals overseas. When is a rescue really a theft? And what price does kindness pay when assumptions go unchecked?
Inside this tail‑wagging mystery you’ll find:
Sera—a dog‑obsessed, justice‑driven tween detective with a Nancy Drew spirit
Sister Zita—glitter‑slinging, snack‑offering, chaos‑champion nun
Stakeouts at the dog park, QR‑code puzzles, disguises, and a van full of secrets
Community events like “Blessing of the Paws” and “Dog Day in the Park” turned crime scenes
A heartfelt exploration of empathy, responsibility, and trusting your instincts
Fans of Nancy Drew, The Great Pet Heist, and Shelter Pet Squad will wag along with this smart, funny, emotionally rich adventure full of clever twists and warm friendships. Pre‑order now for a summertime mystery you won’t want to leave behind.
