Smart Dog

(2) 4-6 Fifth-grader Amy agrees to help a friendly dog who has escaped from the local university, because the dog (a "science experiment") is not only smart enough to talk but also extremely polite. Amy and Sherlock barely manage to stay half a step ahead of the researchers, who plan to dissect Sherlock's brain. The accessible vocabulary, quick-moving plot, and humor make the novel appealing.
