The Show

Meet Eva, Simone and Ash: best friends, budding journalists, and the stars of this delightful new series about family, friends, and DOGS, from the author of the much-loved MARSHMALLOW PIE and DOTTY DETECTIVE books!

When a terrible storm damages the Happy Tails Rescue Centre, Eva and her friends know they need to help. They decide to put on a show to raise money for a new roof - and not just any show. A dog show, of course, with the help of Eva's adorable whippet, Wafer! Everyone at school is keen to pitch in too, but with so many eager pairs of hands (and paws), soon there's squabbling. Can the Dog Squad help everyone learn to work as a team, turn storm clouds to sunshine - and save the Rescue Centre in time?

This juvenile fiction is not just a story about dogs and animals, but a tale of friendship, self-reliance, and the importance of teamwork. The children's journey towards putting on a successful show is a lesson in overcoming obstacles and working together for a common cause.

For fans of Andrea Beaty (Ada Twist and the Perilous Pants), Theanne Griffith (The Magnificent Makers #7), Jacqueline Harvey (Alice-Miranda in New York), Katie Kirby (The Mega-Complicated Crushes of Lottie Brooks), and Jaimal Yogis (The Awakening Storm).
