Trouble at Betts Pets

133 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-1580-3 $$14.99
(4) 4-6 A likable main character and a light, warm tone sustain a brief novel that's about almost too many things: a mystery surrounding fifth-grader Aaron Betts's family pet shop, which has fallen on hard times; the identity of an eccentric and apparently homeless woman; and a new friendship with a seemingly snobby classmate. Animal-lovers should enjoy the pet-centric setting.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
