The McTavish books are a delightful middle-grade series written by Meg Rosoff and illustrated throughout by Grace Easton. Perfect for all animal lovers, and especially dog lovers!
Told through the POV of McTavish, a sweet rescue dog who has simply decided he cannot do without the Peachey family, each book follows him as he saves the day. Whether it's bringing peace to the family, making holidays fun, fixing a baking disaster or helping everyone move home, McTavish knows just what to do when things get tough.
If you believe pets are just as much part of the family as any human member, this is definitely the series to read. And for more series that centre around animals, do check out our recommendations on the Best Animal Stories for 9 and 10 year Olds blog post.
