I confess I don't bring a lot of criticism to dog books. They're generally light and pleasant and inconsequential. This book is no exception.
It's a perfectly cromulent dog book, with a plucky (human) female protagonist ( Birdie), in addition to a dog named Bowser. Birdie & Bowser both have old-fashioned names. They have adventures and solve mysteries. 'Nuff said. :)
This is one of those stories that's told by the dog. That's not my favorite kind of dog book. But Spenser Quinn writes dogs reasonably well, considering Bowser is a dog that IMMEDIATELY bonds with his human and minds right away. He's the kind of dog that humans wish all dogs were.

We listened to this audiobook on a road trip with our kids - the boys thought it was hilarious and it kept Joe and I entertained as well.

This story is told by a dog - Bowser, who has been adopted by Birdie, an 11 year old girl who lives in Louisiana with her grandmother while her mom works on an oil rig. Her grandmother runs a bait and swamp tour shop and when her family heirloom mounted fish is stolen off of the wall of the shop, a mystery ensues and Bowser and Birdie try to find the thief, learn some family history and get in trouble with some bad guys. A lot of details are left out because they don't matter to the dog. This is the first book in a new series. Children who like dogs and mystery stories should enjoy this book.

Bowser makes for an affable narrator. Birdie is headstrong and smart. They make a good team and it's a decent start to a new series.
