Join dog-loving, ten-year-old Maddison McQueen in the second, exciting Red Collie Mystery!
What would you do if someone stole your best friend’s puppies?
Maddie can’t believe it. Rose’s puppies have disappeared!
Maddie’s clever collie Ruby finds one pup, dropped by the thief, but there’s no sign of the others.
Then more dogs are stolen. But the police are busy with other burglaries.
Maddie and Rose call on their friends to help find the missing canines, but how?
Maddie won’t stop looking for the pups, even if it means boring stakeouts and searching where they’re not meant to be…

Reviews
Adele Broadbent, WhatBookNext.com ~ The second book in The Red Collie Mysteries, this is another exciting read. Stolen puppies instantly pull at the heart strings, and kiwi kids Maddison and her friends, Rose, Izzy, Josh and Jennifer are likeable and relatable. Just like the Maddison McQueen and the Cupcake Mystery, the kids stretch their boundaries just a little to achieve their objective, upping the risk and engagement factor.
Another greatly anticipated read by young dog lovers and fans of mystery novels. The dyslexia friendly font will allow even more young readers to enjoy the tale. Read the full review.
KidsBooksNZ ~ Maddison McQueen and the Disappearing Dogs is an enjoyable, light-hearted mystery, great for middle grade readers, especially those who love animals. The story follows Maddison, a clever and determined protagonist, as she embarks on a mission to solve the puzzling disappearance of several neighbourhood dogs. The mystery unfolds in an engaging way, with a solid dose of twists and turns to keep kids entertained without being too complex. Read the full review.
