Review

This is the third in the "Bowser and Birdie" series. Bowser, a mutt, lives with a young girl, Birdie, and Birdie's grandmother in a small Louisiana town. Birdie's mother works on an oil rig. Bowser is the narrator working with Birdie to solve the mysterious sighting of a shark in the bayou and find a missing employee from her grandmother's store that sells fishing gear and rents boats. This suspenseful story is full of action and intrigue. Seeing, hearing, and smelling the world through Bowser's eyes, ears, and nose is delightful. I thoroughly recommend this series to readers who enjoy a satisfying mystery with a dash of humor.

Overall Book Score: very good
