Something Queer in Outer Space - Softcover

Gr. 2-4. The latest volume in this popular mystery series centers on an unlikely premise--Jill's pet basset hound, Fletcher, has been chosen by NASA as its first dog in space. While the lazy dog undergoes a strenuous training program, someone tries to sabotage his chances. Levy's red herring, the owner of a high-strung terrier that was turned down for the space ride, may not mislead many readers, but the series' fans will be pleased that they knew the identity of the real villain all along. Gerstein's lively ink-and-watercolor wash illustrations add immensely to the book's appeal. Carolyn Phelan
