Shelby, an idealistic border collie, and her science-obsessed owner, Kalvin, learn of the town's plan to get rid of their dear friend Maggie and the magical life they have grown to know. Refusing to accept the grim situation, Shelby initiates a bold course of action.
A busybody chiwow-wow mix and a stubborn old schnauzer join forces with the ambitious border collie. The eccentric trio-Tiffi, Fred, and Shelby-work behind the scenes to rally an inactive community into action. The dogs soon discover that Kalvin and an unlikely partner are secretly working on an invisible plan. Unfortunately, the consequences could be harsh for both Shelby and Kalvin if his cold-hearted aunt discovers their plans.
After several setbacks and an embarrassing viral video, the dogs resort to what they know best: instinct and canine wisdom. As for the kids, they rely on makeshift science and a plan that, literally, stinks!
The game-changer comes when an unlikely resident reveals a centuries-old secret that shakes up the town council and the residents of Clover.
This inspiring and funny chapter book is recommended for readers ages 8-12 and for dog lovers young and old.
Winner of the 2016 New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards for best juvenile book.
