Author Description

This brand new series introduces Clara Carter and her best friend Jilly. They're two bright and perky eleven-year-old girls who let the whole world know where their loyalties lay: "We love animals!" These humorous, always fascinating short novels are told from Clara's point of view, and are divided into chapters so that kids can enjoy reading them in more than one session. When Clara and Jilly first see the suitcase in a ditch, they don't expect it to yelp. The noise-maker turns out to be Mud, an abandoned dog -- and they really want to keep him!
