A neighborhood cause takes center stage

Sophie and Juno, the young writers behind the Barking Puppy newspaper, face a new challenge when Mr. O’Connor moves across the street with plans that clash with neighborhood life. The threatened school and his dislike of dogs bring questions of change and belonging into the story. A colorful Dog Circus block party becomes the girls’ proposed way to bring longtime and newer neighbors together while they work to keep the school open. The sequel pairs community organizing with its dog-centered setting, making the neighborhood itself part of the conflict.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in fiction about dogs and neighborhood life

Book overview

Fans of Jeanne Birdsall's The Penderwicks and Karina Yan Glaser's The Vanderbeekers will be delighted by the Barking Puppy series.

When Mr. O'Connor moves in across the street from Sophie and Juno, the writers of the Barking Puppy newspaper, they immediately butt heads. He hates dogs and wants the neighborhood to be more "upscale." That includes closing the beloved neighborhood school. Will Sophie and Juno be able to keep their school open and bridge the gap between new and old neighbors with an all-out, colorful Dog Circus Block party?
