Description

Kristin O'Donnell Tubb,
the award-winning author of A Dog Like Daisy, delivers another
heartwarming must-read middle grade novel for dog lovers. Equal parts funny and
poignant, this book from the point of view of the service dog, Zeus, is
perfect for fans of Max and A Dog Called Homeless.

Zeus
comes from a long line of heroic dogs, and he dreams of glory as a K9
commander. But he receives a much more dangerous assignment--middle school! And
as all good service dogs know, the only way to get through hostile territory is
by being invisible.

Zeus's
new human, Madden, is diabetic, and he wants to be invisible, too. That's hard
to do with a huge German Shepherd at his side to alert him when his blood sugar
drops. And it's even harder because Madden makes this noise called music that draws
attention. Zeus's mission becomes clear: he must destroy music.

While
Zeus's training prepared him for his most important job--keeping Madden safe--he
discovers the human world is complicated. As Madden dreams of winning the state
band competition and tries to reconnect with his mom, the lieutenant, Zeus must
learn that, sometimes, you need to stand out to fulfill your duty.
