This is the sort of book I would have read as a child. It has a mystery, and it has a rescued animal. It didn't ring any bells, so I can't say that I did read it, but I well could have.
The story is good, but I guessed part of the mystery pretty early on. The characters were engaging and entertaining. There are a couple of Florida specific things that were mentioned (like sand, everywhere!) that point to the authors authenticity as a resident of the state.
