Reviews:
“An undercover dog detective named Tramp, a shady pet-stealing operation, and some excellent associate detective work by Tramp’s human, Colin, all come together in this sweet children’s detective novel. Thanks to Tramp and his equally lovable animal friends, Minneapolis is a safe place for pets. Young readers will be entertained by this charming read.”
—Alison McGhee, author of international bestseller, Someday
“Family-friendly adventure abounds in this story of an inquisitive dog that rounds up a gang of both humans and animals in order to expose a cruel animal-napper. A dancing cockatoo, a mouse chorus, and an Internet-famous bulldog add to the mystery’s fun, while issues of trust and belonging underpin this engaging debut novel.”
—Marsha Qualey, author of Thin Ice
“Tramp romps with fun and uplifting stories such as Kate DiCamillo’s Because of Winn-Dixie.”
