(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Jessie avoids a lonely summer with her relatives by apprenticing with a cantankerous professional dog walker. When a charming novice steals business away from her mentor, Jessie plans retaliation. Lang uses descriptive language to form a multilayered story that not only highlights the responsibilities of pet ownership but also the complexities of growing up, first crushes, and revenge.
