The Buried Biscuits (Jack Russell Dog Detective #7). Darrel and Sally Odgers. 2008. 80 pages. [Source: Review copy]
First sentence: The Case of the Buried Biscuits began early one morning.
Premise/plot: Jack Russell has another mystery to solve in his seventh adventure. This one involves two boys who are up to no good. The problem? Dogs are getting the blame. Biscuits are being stolen--and buried--and Jack Russell KNOWS its not any of his dog friends. And when he investigates the scene, his nose is pointing him to two BOYS that have been hanging around. This may be the toughest case for him--in some ways--because his human, Sarge, isn't exactly letting him investigate it properly.
My thoughts: I definitely appreciated this one more than The Sausage Situation. What I loved most about this one was that Jill Russell has quite a big surprise--leading up to the cutest tail wag ever. Of course, readers also get plenty of Jack's Facts (and his end-of-chapter glossaries and nose maps).
Jack's Facts:
- Dogs wag tails. Now and then, tails wag dogs. This happens if a dog is especially pleased. This is a fact. (63)
