Wendelin Van Draanen’s new mystery is the ulti-mutt kid-pleasing caper.
Review for Mr. Whiskers
I’m far from a middle grader but couldn’t pass up this book. Why? Because I love covers and Mr. Whiskers looks a little like my pooch. And… one of my ulti-mutt favorite words is shenanigan. How could I not read this absolutely wonderful story about a stray dog? There are the shenanigan sisters, a pseudo FBI agent, more dogs, a pirate chest, and of course a secret room… I loved all the dog puns revolving around the mystery. It was a “ruff” case but no worries, Dad is saved. My thoughts? It was doggone good! Who wants a treat?
