Grandma has been running Dog Days, a dog day care, all by herself for a long time, but now she needs some help--help that she doesn't really want to accept. Fortunately, Mom's best friend Amanda and her kids, KC and Jonah, live nearby. Amanda and Mom dreamed of running the business when they grew up. That time could be coming. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHazel and Mom arrive for a visit that might turn into a long-term stay. First, they have to figure out what's going on. It's hard to get prickly Grandma to tell them anything, about the business or her health. There are a lot of dogs to keep track of, including Houdini, who keeps them on their toes by repeatedly escaping. Hazel knows KC and Jonah, but they aren't friends--at least not yet. And Hazel's elderly dog Spot is having a hard time keeping up with the younger, more active dogs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMom and Amanda don't want to tell Grandma about Houdini. Grandma doesn't want to tell Mom and Amanda the truth about her health. All Hazel knows is that she doesn't like keeping secrets. If only there was a way to get everyone, young and old, to work together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dori Hillestad Butler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peachtree Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682637234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDori Hillestad Butler has published magazine stories, educational materials, plays, book reviews, characters for a board game, and over sixty children's books.
