More About the Author

I write about puppies because I love dogs. Dogs are always happy to see you, and always excited about what's going to happen next whether it's a ride in the car, a game, or just cuddling up on the couch. Dogs are also great for telling secrets to, and for comforting you when you're sad.
I live in Vermont, an incredibly beautiful state, and I spend time outdoors every day: I love to swim in clear, cold ponds, bike on shady back roads, hike tall mountains - and ski down them!

5.0 out of 5 stars great series for young readers, January 1, 2008

This review is from: The Puppy Place #6: Flash (Paperback)

This is a great series for young kids. My 5 year old loves dogs and this is his favorite series. It teaches about puppy/dog care, different types of dogs, dogs who have jobs,and the responsibility and maturity it takes to have a pet. I especially like the first few books where the Petersons learn to accept the fact that they can't have a puppy and why they are not ready for one yet.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Puppy Place #6: Flash (Paperback)

Me (12 going on 13) and my family foster dogs that's why I wrote the title that way.

Flash is a Border Collie. Why did someone abandon this smart, quick energetic border collie. Lizzy and Charles and their cousins go detective to find out why. And who will adopt this fun little guy? or will the owners reclaim their dog?


I love this book a lot, it is not boring, instead it is written in an easy to read, fun format. At the same time I don't feel like it's for a little kid. I would do the same thing if someone just dumped a puppy in my yard, So it is easy to relate to and understand. I would highly recomend this book to anyone who is a dog lover, or is insterested in dogs and doesn't want a lecture of a story of one.

*I wrote an answer to: need #'s in series

so if you want a list of the books go there

I need to know what number the books are in the serious - as in #1 or #11 - I can't tell from the pictures or the writeups for the books.
