Tale of a Scaredy-Dog





Bea Garcia loves art, especially when she gets to draw pictures of her dog, Sophie. Their friendship is the star of this third story in the spunky chapter book series for fans of Amelia's Notebooks, Judy Moody, and Dory Fantasmagory series.

Bea Garcia is using her art skills to tell readers all about her best friend ever--her dog, Sophie. Sophie can protect her from anything, even the Garcias' monster neighbor, Bert. When Bea's teacher makes her visit Bert for a school assignment, Bea brings Sophie along for extra security. But even monsters have pets, and Bert has a terrible one: Big Kitty. When Big Kitty attacks, Sophie runs straight out the door--away from Bea! Bea searches the neighborhood with her mom, and calls for Sophie up and down the street with her dad, but her dog is nowhere to be found. Will Bea's best friend ever come home again?
