If you’re shopping for a book collection, classroom library, or memorable gift set, this Dog Man installment delivers fast-paced fun and long-lasting appeal.

In this twelfth Dog Man adventure, our hero gets into a mess: Dog Man was sprayed by a skunk and then dunked in tomato juice. The stink may be gone, but a striking scarlet hue remains — and it turns the city against him. Exiled and misunderstood, Dog Man must prove that a changed appearance doesn’t change a hero’s heart.

Meanwhile, Petey is pulled back into a life of crime reluctantly, raising moral questions about whether the ends justify the means. Add to that an all-new villain unleashing an army of A.I. robots, and you’ve got a story full of inventive twists that keep kids turning pages.
