Book Three, Just Between Friends: Walking home from the beach, Lucy and Serena come upon a little dog that is hurt and lost—and had no ID tags. Lucy's living in a "no dogs allowed" cottage and Serena's dad is allergic. But they can't leave the poor thing where it is! So the girls devise a temporary scheme ... that could mean trouble.
Things get even messier when they discover the dog is about to have puppies. Who will take care of all of these dogs? Even more worrisome—who will pay the vet bill? Lucy and Serena decide their Diary Deed for the week is to find a solution and make it work. But the days are slipping by. Will they figure it out in time?
Book Four, Take A Bow: For this week's Diary Deed, Lucy and Serena must face their fears—and the rides at Knott's Berry Farm seem the perfect place to start. But when that plan doesn't quite work, it's back to the drawing board. Lucy decides the upcoming Island Art Fair is the perfect opportunity for Serena to display her art. Serena's not so sure ...
Then Serena comes up with her own idea for Lucy's Diary Deed. But the dread of embarrassing herself in public may be too much for Lucy to handle. On the other hand, backing out would mean disappointing several others. Can Lucy find the strength to face her fears—and follow through on her promise?
