A girl with juvenile arthritis and her service dog solving neighborhood mysteries...it's as cute as it sounds!
My 8 year old daughter and I loved this book!
What we liked:
-The relationship between Walia and her dog Woof. Not only does he help keep her safe but he also helps her solve the mysteries and it's really sweet.
-The small town
-The mystery of finding a missing cat. It was perfect for an 8 year old
-clean and cute with a good story. Just what I'm looking for in books for my kids.
What we didn't like:
When I asked my daughter if there was anything she didn't look she looked at me confused and said "I LIKED ALL OF IT!!"
We can't wait for book 2!
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I received an ARC of Wednesday and Woof #1: Catastrophe thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins Children's Books.
Wednesday and Woof #1: Catastrophe is a beginning chapter book by Sherri Winston. Walia "Wednesday" Nadir and her dog Woof are amateur detectives. Wednesday and Woof encounter their first case when the neighbor's cat goes missing. They begin the search and learn along the way not to jump to conclusions without the proper evidence. This book contains not only cute illustrations, but also some of Wednesday's notebook pages with observations, maps, questions, etc. I appreciate the way that the duo utilized problem-solving skills to solve their first case.
I love that this book features a female detective! Besides being a girl, Wednesday faces additional challenges that are rarely addressed in children's books. Walia happens to have juvenile arthritis, but refuses to allow it to define her. She does have some struggles with it throughout the story and shares how she sometimes has to take a rest. Woof is actually her service dog and keeps tabs on how Wednesday is doing in addition to helping her solve cases.
This is a book that I would recommend to young readers that are ready for beginning chapter books. The chapters are manageable and the illustrations are engaging and contribute to the storyline. I look forward to seeing other books in the Wednesday and Woof series in the future!
