This emergent reader/early chapter book captures your attention and you become invested in the character. Wednesday is a young girl with juvenile arthritis who, along with her service dog, Woof, solve mysteries. When the neighbors cat goes missing the pair are on the case. Young detectives will love the notebook pages about how to be a detective, and the clues that they find along the way. Emergent readers will be encouraged by little notes to the reader such as how many words they have read so far or how many chapters they have left. This book will be a hit with 1-3rd graders.
