Finding Yorgy

by Benjamin Harper, Christian Cornia (Illustrator)

Overview

In search of some summertime spending money, a young boy and his friend agree to paint a neighbor's garage. The neighbor allows the boys to come into her house for drinks and bathroom breaks. There's just one rule: don't let her high-energy, low-obedience puppy, Yorgy, out of the house. Unfortunately, that's exactly what they do! Will the boys locate the playful pup before it destroys the town and their chance to get paid? Find out in this side-splitting, rip-roaring chapter book, with an introduction by bestselling author Michael Dahl.
