Charles and his older sister, Lizzie, Charles, are in elementary school. Their family, the Petersons, have a puppy named Buddy plus they foster dogs and help them find homes.
Charles and his buddies are walking to school one morning when they see a stray collie puppy. They try to catch her and end up being late for school ... so have to go see the principal. When Charles sees her outside the school the next day, without thinking, he darts out of class to get her ... and again has to go see the principal. Charles and his dad catch the puppy, who Charles names Nala, that afternoon and take her home. She's very shy and scared but is comfortable with Charles, who is going to have a hard time giving her up to a good home.
Though this book is a quick read and directed at elementary-aged children, I found it entertaining. There is a learning experience and a puppy tip at the end. It is written in third person perspective and first person from Nala's point of view. It is the forty-first in the Puppy Place series, which currently has 66 books in the series, and works as a stand alone.

My daughter has loved every book in this series so far. It was nice that this one was a bit different. However, it’s become dull to me that Charles often has a bad attitude. I also didn’t always agree with what he was getting in trouble for or how it was dealt with. Overall a nice story with a happy ending.

Great book and trying to catch Nala who was shy. Glad the Principals Father will have a companion now and wont be so lonely.

Still cute but this one didn’t have as much of the puppy in it so little girl’s attention wandered a bit.
