Twelve-year-old Jessie is in for a long summer at her aunt and uncle s house. Her cousin Ann has a snotty new best friend, which leaves Jessie all alone. But Jessie is industrious, and not content with being ignored all summer she convinces Wes, a grouchy neighborhood dog walker, to take her on as his apprentice.
Such a fun book! Smart and funny in all the best ways - with a character who doesn't always do the right thing, but is so easy to root for you can't help but going along for the ride (or, in this case, the walk). Rules of the Ruff is a realistic look at how sometimes good intentions can lead you astray and how even the worst people may be better than you think.
