1-3Ready, Set, Dogs! series.
Illustrated by
Heather Ross.
When Kate and Lucie's substitute teacher loses control of their class, the BFFs use their magical dog-morphing abilities to help out. This sophomore entry has it all: action, adventure, mystery, and humor, but the plot lacks focus. Ross's cute, expressive black-and-white full-page illustrations and spot art add spirit. Dog jokes and author essays are included.
