Crime Biters!: My Dog Is Better Than Your Dog

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Adam Stower. Just before the start of fifth grade, Jimmy Bishop gets a massive facial blemish (ugh). He also gets a dog that has vampire-like traits (cool) and a babysitter who's mean (ugh again). A nose-picking sidekick, a new girl, a bully, and a burglary ring also figure in this humorous mystery. The too-tidy ending won't bother most readers--they'll be eager for book two.
