Overview
This quirky middle grade speculative pits the new boy in town against a faulty phone app, his mom’s pampered poodle, and the town mobster. Learning the mythology of weredogs might be the only way to save everyone.
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.
