Epic McDade is not ready for middle school. Luckily, he’s got all summer to prepare at his family’s dog-friendly hotel, the Perro del Mar. And what a summer it will be … Carmelito, California, has been named America’s #1 Dog-Friendly Town, and puppies and owners alike are pouring into Epic’s sleepy seaside neighborhood for a week of celebration! Business is booming, and the McDades are in dog heaven—especially Epic’s little sister, Elvis, whose favorite celebrity canine, Sir Bentley, is coming to stay. But when Bentley’s jewel-encrusted collar goes missing, every guest becomes a suspect. And nobody knows the Perro del Mar like the McDade kids. Epic will have to embrace new friends and new ideas to sniff out the culprit. From the author of Maybe a Mermaid comes a hilarious and uplifting story about learning to unleash your bravest self.
