Strange Neighbors

(4) 4-6 Sam, Dog Detective series. Sam, a talking sheepdog with a yen for mysteries and junk food, convinces her human pals, Jennie and Beth, to spy on their new neighbors. After spotting a mangy cat, sundry reptiles, and a pot of bubbling liquid, the sleuths think they've got a coven of witches on their hands. The dog's whiny comments may grate after a while, but Labatt provides enough clues to allow readers to outthink the detectives.
