Houser & Marketta is about two dogs who come together and negotiate dog houses. Houser is a big shot and owns the majority of the dog houses in the neighborhood. Marketta is a dog real estate agent who helps her fellow dog pals find dog houses. Marketta knows her market and Houser's tough dealings don't phase her. Marketta is able to successfully negotiate a dog house on behalf of her friend named Crash. The author, Tanisha Owens, is a real estate agent based out of Greenville, SC. Her canny use of symbolism and simplicity make this a must read for both kids and adults.
