Description
All Honey the Great Dane ever wanted was a peaceful life - walking her human, checking Peemail at the park - but when neighbourhood puppies start disappearing, life takes a sinister turn. Why are dead scarab beetles found after each disappearance? Do the strange markings on a gravestone really spell out an ancient Egyptian curse? And what about Max, the Pit Bull with a murky past, who seems to be hiding secrets of his own...can Honey risk everything and trust him or will it cost her the chance to save the puppies?
Kids, young teens and dog lovers of all ages will enjoy this action-packed mystery filled with suspense and humour! The perfect upper middle grade adventure and book for parents (grandparents!) & children to enjoy together. (Age: 9+)
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"I've read a few books marketed for middle-grades or younger this year and I have to say that this is hands down the best suited for those ages. It has a great plot, some truly well-rounded characters (with more depth than what I find in most adult novels these days), a fantastic storyline and a climax that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Not only was this book highly entertaining but there are some great messages in it. I could easily see this transitioning to the big screen and that's not something I say very often."- Cory Balboni for LitChick Hit List
"H.Y. Hanna has delivered an animal story, an otherworldly fantasy, and a mystery, all wrapped in one, that is sure to please young readers. There is a magic to speaking to children and H.Y. Hanna has completely captured it."- Patricia Reding for Readers' Favorite

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Hsin-Yi is Taiwanese by birth, British by education, pseudo-American by
accent and Australian by residence! After graduating from Oxford
University, she tried her hand at a variety of jobs before returning to
her first love: writing. Hsin-Yi has always been searching for close
encounters of the canine kind. Where other girls grew up pony-mad,
Hsin-Yi was dog-mad: her favourite bedtime reading was the Encyclopaedia
of Dog Breeds and her favourite activity was practising an really
authentic bark. When she wasn't doing Rottweiler impressions, Hsin-Yi
spent her time devouring mysteries. Her childhood idol was Nancy Drew -
not just because Nancy could scuba dive, speak French, sell insurance
and solve mysteries - often all at the same time - but also because
Hsin-Yi really wanted "strawberry-blonde hair".
It's perhaps
fitting that now grown up, Hsin-Yi has launched her author career with a
children's mystery series starring an enormous, slobbery dog. When
she's not working on her next novel, she's usually found watching
repeats of her favourite TV show, Fringe, or wiping Dane slobber off the
walls.
