Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6--Sixth-grader Allie Nichols, first introduced in The Ghost of Fossil Glen (Farrar, 1998), returns with her friend Dub for her third adventure. The 11-year-old is a ghost magnet, but in the past her encounters have been with deceased humans. This time, she is dealing with a dog, which makes communication rather difficult. Allie is elated when she is asked to dog-sit for Hoover, her beloved teacher's pet. When the animal is stolen, Allie is distraught. She soon believes that her ghost dog, Hoover's kidnapping, and the mysterious deaths of puppies at the local pet store are all connected. Allie suspects that the new boy in town, L. J. Cutler, and his menacing father may be running a puppy mill, and she must convince her parents and the local authorities of her suspicions. DeFelice has created a suspenseful tale that will leave readers rapidly turning pages to learn Hoover's fate. The pacing is good and Allie and Dub are likable characters. Mystery fans will not be disappointed.--Linda Zeilstra Sawyer, Skokie Public Library, IL

From Booklist
Gr. 4-6. In this follow-up to The Ghost of Fossil Creek (1998) and The Ghost and Mrs. Hobbs (2001), sixth-grader Allie Nichols once again follows a ghost's lead through a thrilling mystery. As in previous titles, Allie is a "ghost magnet" whose specters contact her to help them resolve painful stories. This time, her ghost doesn't speak; instead, it relies on imagery and scent--a recurring, unpleasant "poopy smell," to be exact. It doesn't take long for Allie to realize that her new ghost is a dog, and its heartbreaking tale somehow links to a rough, rude new classmate and his scary, belligerent dad. The gripping story of animal (and child) abuse will hook fans of the series and newcomers alike. DeFelice maintains the supernatural suspense at just the right clip until the satisfying conclusion, and Allie's sidekick, Dub, offers plenty of real-world banter and support. Gillian Engberg
