Book Description

7 and up2 and upSam: Dog Detective
Join Sam: Dog Detective on her fifth funny adventure as she enjoys a little family holiday at the Grand Hotel. And what could be more exciting than the bustling lobby of a big hotel? Guests arrive, people meet -- and signals are exchanged. For Sam, this can mean only one thing: spies, and lots of them! Everyone seems awfully suspicious, what with envelopes being passed back and forth, people creeping out of guests' rooms and secretly using the back stairs. Something's definitely up, and Sam is sure to figure it out -- if only Jennie and Beth will help her.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 2-5-Sam, who considers herself a talented dog detective, is able to communicate with Jennie, the girl who lives next door, by putting thoughts into her head. When Jennie's family wins an all-expense paid weekend at the exclusive Grand Hotel, the sheepdog is only too happy to tag along. The establishment allows dogs, but Jennie and her best friend are warned to keep Sam on a leash, and the cantankerous canine will have none of that. Soon after arriving at the hotel, her snooping lands all three in the middle of a dangerous mystery. The plot is weak and the dog's insistence on ordering strange meals from room service (e.g., apple pie with shrimp) becomes less humorous with repetition. Still, young mystery lovers who have always wanted to talk to their pets and fans of the previous books will enjoy Sam's antics and the surprise conclusion.-Amy Stultz, Leesburg Public Library, FL
