When Sophie and her two Jack Russell terriers move to Boston, she's excited not to be the only brown kid in the neighborhood anymore. She instantly likes the quirky teenager named Juno next door and her pug, Bonney. But not everything's easy. Her classmates make fun of her Vermont overalls. The upstairs neighbor hates barking. And Bonney needs surgery that Juno's family can't afford.
So Sophie and Juno invent the Barking Puppy, the first ever newspaper written "by dogs" and "for dogs." Will anyone else get how funny it is? And more importantly, can they sell it to raise enough money in time to save Bonney? Will the landlord kick Sophie and her mom out before they even get started?
Don't miss this first edition of a doggone great series and find out for yourself!
Lori Lobenstine and her goddaughter, Sophie Canon, have been collaborating on the original Barking Puppy newspaper since Sophie was ten years old. The Barking Puppy is Lori's first children's book, and Sophie was her chief creative consultant. Like some of her characters, Lori is a twin, has a dog named Summitt, and lives in Jamaica Plain, MA. She is proud of having been editor-in-chief of her fourth-grade newspaper back in the day. For more on Lori and Sophie's real life Barking Puppy adventures, check out thebarkingpuppy.com.
