A Hilarious Adventure Series.
A shipload of dogs and puppies has arrived on Puddin’ Head Island, but the islanders have no clue how to care for them. When the Union family can’t take their new rescue puppy, Waggers, on tour with Maya’s famous teen sister, Maya and her best friend Lily volunteer to dog-sit at Uncle Puddin’ Head’s house. The problem? Maya’s uncle is obsessed with his pristine lawn, and the wacky neighbors aren’t exactly welcoming to dogs—or to children from outside the community.
Will Uncle Puddin’ Head and the quirky neighbors force Waggers to “go away”? Or can Maya and Lily prove that with a little training, Waggers isn’t just an adorable puppy, but a super puppy who can inspire the whole neighborhood to take better care of their dogs—and maybe each other?
Join Maya and Waggers in a laugh-out-loud series filled with wild adventures, unexpected challenges, and unforgettable life lessons—set in one of the craziest neighborhoods you’ll ever visit! A chapter book series for ages 8 and up.
