Preview: Hear it

From the author of Charlie Joe Jacksons Guide to Not Reading comes a humorous and illustrated new series about a boy whose new dog may or may not be a crimefighting vampire.Jimmy Bishop loves doing 3 things:1) Laughing at funny dog videos online,2) watching his favorite show (Stop! Police!) on TV,3) and reading his favorite vampire book (Fang Goodness) over and over. His selfinvolved older sister and workaholic Mom think he needs to stop obsessing already! But when his Dad finally allows Jimmy to get a puppy before school starts, everything changes and Jimmy has something new to focus on: his amazing dog, Abby who seems to have some very unusual habits. She sleeps all day but is wired at night, and she runs from the garlic kelp biscuit made by Jimmys strange new babysitter Mrs. Cragg. Theres just something different about Abby. Could she possibly be...a vampire? Jimmys best friend Irwin thinks Jimmys being ridiculous, but then when Abby uncovers a real crime in progress and helps him become friends with an actual, human girl, even Irwin has to admit that perhaps Abby might have some super powers after all.
