A Hare-Raising Tale

When Jill chooses a new dog, little does she know that the basset hound will endear himself for both his storytelling and mystery-solving abilities. And, of course, there's his fun-loving sidekick, Jasper the flea! Jasper faces his first challenge as Jill and her friend, Gwen, concoct a school exhibit that includes a snow globe AND Jasper himself. William Dufris and Christine Marshall are a dynamic twosome. They alternate characters, accentuating the action and pacing while providing distinctive characterization. Fletcher is an exuberant and adoring pet; Gwen, an ever enthusiastic, faithful friend; James and several other 8-year-olds, typically annoying. Listen in to this engaging story. A.R.
