Maggie the Shih Tzu Detective V Taylor Small

Fifteen-year-old Veronica Stevens is something of a tough girl. She lives in Brooklyn with her dad and Maggie, their twelve-year-old shih tzu. Maggie can talk, and so can some of the other animals who live in the building-but only Veronica can hear them. Maggie is a big help to Veronica, someone who helps keep her on the straight and narrow. She'll need the support, as soon, Veronica will have to build up her courage and assist her cousins facing some of life's challenges. She and Maggie must turn to the best place they know for guidance: the scriptures. In this novella for young readers, a teenager leans on her faith as she supports two of her cousins through difficult circumstances.
