A girl learns how to walk dogs—and walk tall—in this charming, coming-of-age novel
Twelve-year-old Jessie is in for a long, lonely summer at her aunt and uncle’s house.

But when Monique, a charming rival dog walker, moves to town, she quickly snatches up most of Wes’s business—and Jessie decides she isn’t going to take this defeat with her tail between her legs.
