(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Kevin Cornell. Former search-and-rescue dog J.J. Tully, laconic and unflappable, is lured out of retirement by a determined chicken who promises him a cheeseburger if he'll take on her case. Perfect pacing and reliably placed zingers, along with tidily embedded clues, a generous scattering of illustrations, a dandy plot twist, and a cast of hilarious characters, add up to a delightful treat.
