Puppy Knights: Quest for the Golden Bones -- Michael Sweater, Paperback

An immersive and rollicking graphic novel of two treasure-hunting dog adventurers who are in way over their snouts!

Adventurers Sparky and Pugsly have been hired by the prince of the kingdom of New Pawston to find its most precious treasure, the Golden Bones. They aren't the sharpest dogs, but they make up for it with a lot of energy and enthusiasm! Unafraid and unaware, their search sends them from one peril to another--going up against brigands, a secret society of cats, a snobby hotel clerk, and the deepening mystery of the prince's true intentions. All the while, the two remain constant companions, their friendship and their understanding of the world growing as they move through it.

​This zany graphic novel, written by Michael Sweater and rendered in bracing panoramic detail by artist Josue Cruz, is a delightful romp for mutts and kids alike!
