The Daily Bark: The Puppy Problem by Laura James

The Daily Bark: The Puppy Problem by Laura James

The first book in a charming new chapter book series about enterprising young pups who start a neighborhood newspaper, for fans of The Secret Life of Pets.

Gizmo is a city dog, so when he moves to the village of Puddle with his journalist human, he doesn't know WHAT to expect. Certainly not FLOWERS. Or BEES. And he couldn't have even imagined MUD. Luckily he's got Jilly, the wolfhound next door, to show him around.

But Jilly has a problem. Her puppies are going to be adopted by new owners who live far away -- she'll never see them again! Gizmo has got a nose for a story, and a great idea to help Jilly. What if the dogs of Puddle started a newspaper to get the word out and keep these pups closer to home? Stop the presses!

Perfect for fans of The Secret Life of Pets, this is the first book in a charming and humorous new chapter book series -- featuring full-color illustrations -- about the things dogs get up to when their humans aren't looking.

Laura James' passion for storytelling began at a young age, and she went on to Bath Spa University to pursue a degree in Cinema Studies and an MA in Writing for Young People. Captain Pug, Laura's debut novel, was a finalist for the Waterstones Children's Book Award in 2017. Laura and her two dachshunds, Brian and Florence, live near Bath.
