Dog-lover Addie May finds herself helping the class bully find his lost (stolen?) Chihuahua. She uncovers the root of the mysterious disappearances of dozens of Chihuahuas and learns about loneliness. Though Addie May is at times overly precocious and some plot elements are too easily resolved, the well-paced mystery, accompanied by nicely shaded black-and-white illustrations, will hold readers' attention.
