Summary
Walia and her service dog, Woof, together make up the detective team of Wednesday (Walia’s lucky day) and Woof. Walia’s neighbor, Mrs. Winters, is getting ready to go on vacation, but her cat, Autumn, has gone missing. Walia saw some older boys acting sneaky. Maybe they took Autumn for her diamond collar!
But in order to work her case, Walia is going to have to dodge a bully – and convince her dad that her sleuthing won’t aggravate her juvenile arthritis.
Review
This is a fun early chapter book mystery and series launch. Walia and Woof are a great team. There’s a nice balance between the story, Walia’s notes about being a detective, and information on her JA. I think kids are going to enjoy this new sleuthing team while also learning about JA, service dogs, and being a detective.
A second book in the series, Wednesday and Woof: New Pup on the Block, also releases next week. Book 3, Wednesday and Woof: The Runaway Robot, releases in November.
