    About this ebook

    Dog-lovers Kate and Lucie are back with more four-legged adventures! A new hot dog stand opens in town and the girls rush to try it out. The food is delicious, and the company is hard to beat—Molly and Wally have two hot-dog dogs of their own: Ketchup and Mustard. Almost as soon as the stand opens, though, Ketchup and Mustard have gone missing. It's up to Kate and Lucie to save the day, all the while dodging goofy boys and participating in the Bark-in-the-Park dog competition. These girls mean business!

      Kate and Lucie are next-door neighbors, best friends, and share a powerful secret -- when they wear their magical dog-bone necklaces and high five each other, they turn into talking dogs! In this title, the girls meet Molly and Wally, the owners of a new hot-dog stand in town -- and their adorable dachshunds named Ketchup and Mustard. But things quickly go awry when Ketchup and Mustard escape from the stand's gates, and the whole town is on high alert looking for them!While this is the third book in a series, this title stands alone surprisingly well. It recaps the major players and plot points from the previous book without being overly summarizing. For those who really enjoyed the first two books, this is sure to please as it has all the same characters plus some new ones. In fact, my 10-year-old niece and I both actually liked this title a little better than the second one in the series.The adventures the girls get into as dogs are more like playful hijinks with no real danger feared, although there are some tears shed over the missing dogs. It is not much of a spoiler to say that of course Ketchup and Mustard are eventually found, but not without some false positives along the way. The other plotline with the boys Danny and DJ trying to catch the girls when they are dogs was mildly disturbing to me as an adult, with the boys walking around with "just in case" leashes to hook them, but it's meant to be light-hearted and I think kids will take it that way. The girls eventually take pity on the boys and help them out by winning them trophies under their dog personas at the Bark-in-the-Park contest.There are attempts at diversity here with Lucie presumably being Latina, although that is only subtly gleaned through naming conventions and illustrations. Another character is Black, but again that is only made clear via illustrations. It is also explicitly stated that both girls have single mothers, but the mothers are referred to as "Mrs." and their last name, which seemed odd to me if they were either single always or through divorce (i.e., "Miss" or "Ms." would be more appropriate in either case). Speaking of illustrations, the black-and-white pencil drawings don't add much, but they are nice for breaking up the text from time to time. I think young readers will appreciate that. The book ends with some jokes/riddles and authors' notes about their own real-life experiences with dachshunds. My niece was disappointed to learn this was the last book in the series! It ends well enough, with no loose ends hanging, but there's also the potential for more adventures if the authors ever decided to come back to Lucie and Kate.
