In volume 3 of the Tween series, Emmy Budd and T.J. are joined by a scruffy dog who appears at strange times and places. The dog, whom T.J. names 'Harry' leads the kids to a nefarious plot, and together, the three detectives struggle to thwart a greedy developer from taking over their town.


My 2 cents:

I love this series even at my age. My boys like it as well. They always want to see what kind of trouble Emmy and TJ can get into, then see how they solve the situations. When Emmy hears about the hand she gets all queasy and TJ has to laugh at her. Then the real story begins, who does the hand belong to? Between figuring that idea out, helping their friend Hank, who owns the Land the developer wants to build on, working at the dinner for TJ's mom, they end up finding the dog they call Harry or I should say he ends up finding them. There are some funny parts along the way and the story grabs you for the beginning and you do not want to put the book down. This is a great gift idea of the holidays.
Emmy is a charming girl that any of the girl readers will enjoy reading about and the boys will like TJ and his playfull ways.
This is a series but you can read as a stand-alone story.
