A street smart stray dog named Mr. Whiskers teams up with Misty and Zelda Nanigan to help solve a big mystery. The girls dad goes missing after he is questioned by an FBI Agent who then unexpectedly takes him away. As clues unravel, they think he was actually kidnapped. But Mr. Whiskers and the sisters are hot on the trail as they piece together the mystery in order to save him.
This is a fun and fast paced story for the middle grade reader who likes mystery and adventure. Told from Mr. Whisker's point-of-view, there are many dog puns and funny moments. There are riddles, suspicious FBI agents, secret rooms and passageways, possible pirate treasure and problem solving. Scattered throughout the book were several illustrations that added good visualization to the many characters and adventures they encounter. Mr. Whiskers is quite the charismatic character and Misty and Zelda are very resourceful making them a likeable sleuthing team. The story is a page turner and full of suspense but is also heartwarming. It has a good family feel to it as well and I hope there will be many more Mr. Whisker stories to follow. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 8-11.~
