Mr. Whiskers is a paw-some new dog detective from an Edgar Award winning author. He’s on the trail of a kidnapped dad, pirate treasure, and a place to call home…

Mr. Whiskers is a street-wise stray dog with a nose for trouble and a fondness for two girls he calls the Shenanigan Sisters. So when Misty and Zelda’s professor father is kidnapped, Mr. Whiskers follows that car, picking up vital clues. 

Then the two intrepid girls and one great dog follow the trail through the streets of San Francisco, discovering hidden passageways, buried secrets, and even pirate treasure. 

But will they be able to rescue Dad? You bet your best biscuit, they will!

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?
