Woof by Spencer Quinn (YA)

I love this author's Chet and Bernie books.  This is a Birdie and Bowser book.  Birdie is an 11 year old girl who gets a shelter dog, Bowser, for her birthday gift from her cranky-on-the-outside grandmother.  A prize fish is stolen from Birdie's family's bait shop and she decides to investigate and try to find it, like her cop father (who is dead) would have done.  This puts Birdie is some risky situations but Bowser is there to keep an eye on her.  Bowser tells the story and it is fun reading the insights of a dog's mind.  This was a good, quick read.  Middle school readers especially would like it, I believe.  I received a copy of this book from the Amazon Vine program in exchange for a honest review.
