Book Description

Please visit thepetwasher.com to learn more about the series!
What happens when a vacationing princess befriends the local pet washer during Spring Break? 


Meet the pet washer! Cianna works overtime at The Royal Pet Palace and Day Spa. Here, animals are cleaned, massaged, bedazzled, and dyed to match the outfits of their masters. Cianna is popular because she invents special shampoos, flea treatments, pet foods, and toothpastes to keep the pets as healthy as they are clean.

Meet the princess! Polly owns the finest dresses, the fastest horses, lives in the largest castle, and has the prettiest friends in the seven kingdoms. She befriends Cianna to replace an ill dancer in her annual Spring Festival performance.
When Cianna is thrown into the glamorous lifestyle of the royals it seems all her dreams are coming true, but when Polly has a change of heart, both of their lives are changed forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book for Tweens March 19, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Its so hard to find good books for tweens these days. There are lots of excellent childrens books then books seem to skip to subjects I don't want my daughter reading about yet. Not so here. This book talks about the struggles with friends and self worth that all tweens go through without getting too sappy or too dark. Just perfect for tween girls!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Story for Girls November 30, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a most creative telling of a story old as time. As a K-12 school Librarian I am always looking for a new story that is compact, well written and relatable for my students. This one, The Pet Washer, is all of these.

Polly and Cianna are strong characters in this fantasy world and are both charming in their own ways and easy to like. The two girls have different life experiences that put them at odds in the beginning. Their interactions provide the catalysts to understand each other and eventually become real friends. This makes for an exciting, well developed plot.

Secondary characters are also well developed, interesting and essential to the story, the reader will truly care about them all. It is a lovely and romantic rendition of some of life's hard lessons learned. In today's world of instant gratification, violence and economic strife this story is a gentle reminder of what all young girls share, their humanity.
