This is a fun book, and my daughter really enjoyed it! I also appreciated that the main character has different physical abilities than most kids so that my daughter has the chance to develop empathy as we read.

This is a VERY cute story of a girl helping her neighbor find her cat. The adventure this book takes you on, the dialogue between the kids, and the relationship she has with her dad makes it an amazing experience to read. Great for all ages.

3.5 stars = Good+

Cute launch of a new early chapter book series starring a girl with juvenile arthritis and her service dog. The author does a nice job of weaving the mystery and the diagnosis together into an engaging story with interesting characters. I'd be happy to hand this to any new chapter book reader.

Are you ready to be overwhelmed by cuteness, charm, and positive disability representation? Then prepare to meet Walia Nadir, a young Black girl who has started her own detective agency with her adorable and four-legged co-partner Woof in Sherri Winston’s Wednesday and Woof #1: Catastrophe.

A new chapter book series, Wednesday and Woof starts off with a mystery-minded Walia scoping out potential mysteries from her headquarters, an old boat in her family’s backyard. Initially it looks like she’ll have to rustle up a mystery on her own, until she’s presented with a case of a missing cat.
