"With pluck and community spirit, the Raccoon River Kids get it done--another winner." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS "What we need is one super, can't fail idea..." The Raccoon River kids are back to help a very special dog named Spunky, who needs a new home. Calls to the mayor, secret dog walks, and a whole lot of list-making are all part of their plan to organize the town's first pet showcase. But time is running out! Do Hannah and her friends have a few more tricks--and dog treats--up their sleeves? Lauren L. Wohl brings us the third installment in the Raccoon River Kids Adventures series and reminds readers that real change starts with a little bit of courage and even more compassion. Mark Tuchman illustrates the small-town adventures and makes us wish we called Raccoon River home. About the RACCOON RIVER KIDS ADVENTURES Series No matter what your size, substantial change starts with a bit of courage, a good idea, and a little help from your friends. The RACCOON RIVER kids introduce early readers to the impact kids can have in their own communities. Whether it's uniting a town to save a building or just finding a home for a lost pup, the pint-sized pack always go big. The creative crew jump into action when they see a problem, inspiring young optimists to do likewise-or to just unwind with a light-hearted story.
