Description
A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
Praised as "reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes" by Kirkus Reviews, and "the perfect mix of heart, humor, and hilarity" by Big Nate creator Lincoln Peirce, this comic strip-turned-graphic-novel series hits the sweet spot for both kids and any pet-obsessed grownups.
Wags to Wishes, Book 3 of this middle-grade graphic novel series starring Sophie the chocolate lab, pokes gently at family power structures. Still reeling from all the new additions to her family (a human baby along with various stray dogs and cats), Sophie decides that - as the alpha - it is up to her to protect them all. And so she tries . . . from an island of temptation made entirely of desserts, to an army of discarded chew toys seeking revenge for lost squeakers, to the cats' unending pursuit to rule humanity, Sophie's adventures are epic, fun, and funny.
