From the Inside Flap:
An undercover dog detective named Tramp, a shady pet-stealing operation and some excellent associate detective work by Tramp's human brother Colin all come together in this sweet children's detective novel. Thanks to Tramp and his equally lovable animal friends, Minneapolis is a safe place for pets. Young readers will be entertained by this charming read. Alison McGhee, author of SomedayTramp, a half Lhasa Apso and half poodle, comes from a long line of detectives. After a harrowing time in a pet store, he finds his way to a good family with a wonderful owner named Colin. But he also sees there are so many mysteries to solve. Kennedy has written, literally, a romp of a book with the good guys (and dogs) outweighing the bad guys in the end. Thank goodness, Tramp can never keep his nose out of things. What child wouldn't want a dog like Tramp in their life. Mary Logue, author of Lake of TearsFamily-friendly adventure abounds in this story of an inquisitive dog that rounds up a gang of both humans and animals in order to expose a cruel animal-napper. A dancing cockatoo, a mouse chorus, and an internet-famous bull dog add to the mystery's fun, while issues of trust and belonging underpin this engaging debut novel. Marsha Qualey, author of Thin Ice
From the Back Cover:
I knew Tramp! And I cheer his charm as it streams into this story out of the heart of his whimsical owner, author Bill Kennedy. I feel the same goose-bumps I got pulling for Pinocchio and the sweet Poky Puppy. He's Nancy Drew in furry pants! The setting is real, and so is the magic. The children talk to the animals and they talk right back. This may be fiction but it has a pulse we know.Beth Obermeyer, author of The Days of Song and LilacsTramp romps with fun and uplifting stories such as Kate DiCamillo's Because of Winn-Dixie. Will Weaver, author of Memory Boy
