Danny and best friend Calvin sleuth to find their super-strict fourth-grade teacher's missing dog and return Mrs. Cakel to her usual self. Good-humored narrator Danny uncovers clues, explains Calvin's odd behaviors, and faces his own dad's temporary job loss with equal insight. Danny's gently comedic doodles further the light tone and provide frequent resting points for readers transitioning to longer chapter books.
