I'm off to the bookstore to pick up Thereby Hangs a Tail - the second in the Chet and Bernie mystery series by Spencer Quinn - released January 5. The first book, Dog On It, was a New York Times bestseller and Barnes & Noble Recommends selection. The series may be primarily intended for adults, but it's perfect for YA readers too. I can say that with confidence - my 13-year old niece Rachel loved Dog On It, and if you've read my interviews with her, you know Rachel's a discerning reader - see 2Teens.
The mysteries are written from the witty and endearing pov of Chet the dog, Bernie's partner in the Little Detective Agency.
I won't be reviewing Thereby Hangs a Tail, because Quinn is my big brother - and even though he's undeniably a fabulous writer, I might be suspected of bias. However, I do hope to interview him in an upcoming blog post about his writing career and this great series.
Please check back. In the meantime, visit chetthedog - a most delightful blog - and you'll see what I mean.

This sounds like an interesting book. That is what I like about blogging. I find books that I might not hear about otherwise.
Hi! Thanks for visiting my site early. I thought I'd return the visit. This book sounds great, but I really liked the interviews with teens on your site. Nice change!
Make that EARLIER. Ugh. This blog challenge is tricky. I'm getting all tongue-tied.
excellent. my 11 yr old daughter loves the Warrior series. I'm sure she will love these.
How cool that you and your brother are both children's writers! Y'all must be a very literary family, and I can imagine what your house must have been like during your childhood -- stuffed with books, perhaps?
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Love the blog. I have been spending the last couple days checking out all the people who signed up for Mother Reads comment challenge, and it has been very enlightening. I did try to click on the link you left at the bottom of this post but got an error. I shall return.
