** I received a copy of this book for free through a Goodreads giveaway. **

Cute mystery story perfect for middle readers. Just enough (minor) scares and twists to make this an enjoyable and fun read. This is the type of book I would have loved to have found when I was in elementary school and I would definitely recommend it to anyone with children who love mysteries and/or dogs. (

If you are a fan of mystery novels similar to Trixie Belden or Nancy Drew, you will love this book. Rita Monette is a very gifted story-teller and her illustrations are beautiful. Her gift for capturing the essence of the Louisiana bayou and its Cajun people, adds a wonderful layer to this story. The characters are well-developed and the mystery is intriguing enough for adults. I felt for the lead character, Nikki Landry. Nikki is initially reluctant to make friends because her family has a history of moving. She does make friends, however, and hears of the legend of Ghost Dog Island. Nikki and her new friends decide to explore the island (because what kid wouldn’t?) and uncover pieces to a long ago mystery which may have started the legend. But when Nikki’s dog Snooper disappears, the legend becomes all too real for her. Nikki and her new friends are not only plunged into a mystery, but must find her dog before it's too late. (
