Overview
All GT wants is to make friends in his new town, but when a skateboarding dare goes wrong, his hopes are as dented as the school principal's car.
His punishment? Taking his mom's bratty poodle Fifi—decked out in pink polka dot accessories—to her doggie summer camp where he's vastly outnumbered by retirees with their pets. Normal life is over. When GT and Fifi are accidently zapped by a faulty phone app—technology mixed with a bit of magic—the voices they hear are each other's, and they can talk back. Fifi is the bane of his existence, and now their lives are entangled in a way GT never dreamed. Trouble isn't stopping there. Changes are happening to GT—he wants to howl at the moon, growl at his sister, and chase every squirrel. It won't be long until he finds himself among the city's stray dogs. To stop his magical transformation, GT must form a new pack built on friendship, acceptance, loyalty, and love—the things dogs do best. But he quickly learns there's more to the situation than he realizes. Dangerously more. Saving himself might be the only way to save the whole town, dogs included.

Author Bio
Growing up on a dairy farm in Minnesota, LuAnn Rod had three loves: reading, writing, and horses. That hasn't changed, except for the additions of a husband, son, and daughter-in-law, one big cat, and four crazy dogs. Her reading list tends toward titles with plucky heroines and heroes, adventure with a generous dollop of humor, and heartfelt friendships—both animal and human. Now living in Montana under the great Big Sky she enjoys riding her Arabian horses across prairies and mountains, playing with her dogs, and sharing her stories with young readers and kindred dreamers. LuAnn earned her bachelor's degree in English literature through Montana State University, and worked twenty-five years in the newsroom at her local newspaper.
