In this hilarious sequel to the hugely popular Barking Up the Wrong Tree, Sally Stick and her shaggy best friend Fetch discover plenty more mysteries to solve. Like, Is there a beaver loose in the town? Who is the handbag thief? And, most importantly, Why does Uncle Bob’s house always smell of biscuits? Somehow, despite the accidents, misunderstandings and general confusion that dog the hapless pair wherever they go, they always get results. And they have a lot of fun along the way!

It was really fun and interesting. My favourite character was the dog because he is the only one who can talk to the young girl. Everyone else can just hear woof,!, It was an exciting story

I like Sally because she’s smart but also because sometimes she doesn’t understand what people are talking about such as when her uncle Bob asks Sally and Fetch to find his glasses (which are on his own head) but Sally thinks that uncle Bob is talking about glasses that you drink from. I would definitely recommend this book to other people because it’s very funny and very interesting.

My thought about this book is that it's very good because it is about Investigating and it is factual as it tells you about how to be a detective. I recommend this book to anyone who has a curious mind.

Chapter one Sally Stick and Fetch went to live with Uncle Bob because her grandma was sick and in the hospital. Uncle Bob lost his glasses with gold rims and asked the detectives to find it. Sally and Fetch created a detective office, they searched the entire house and could not. Find glasses with gold rims, so they wrote a detective report and put up a wanted poster. When uncle bob was about to read the report his reading glasses on his head fell on the sheet and he thought it was there all along and thanked the detectives for finding it. Chapter Two Sally and fetch went to the library to read books about animals. They found a book about a beaver and learned that beavers cut down trees with their teeth. They spot a lamp post fallen on the street and they conclude that the beaver did it. So, they go investigating and searching for a beaver. They find a beaver in the swimming pool, but it wasn’t a real beaver it was a stuffed animal costume with a lady inside it. Fetch bites the beaver’s tail to stop him from running away. Sally pushes thee beaver into the water because she thought the beaver would scare the kids, but she was wrong because the beaver was the kid’s entertainment for the competition. The beaver did not bite the lamppost like they thought it was a delivery driver that knocked it down when he was trying to avoid running into a cat. Chapter Three Sally and stick went to the park to solve another mystery of the bag thief. Fetch saw a man on a bench who dropped a purse, so he picked it up and ran after him. The man felt he was chasing him and accidently tripped over. It turned out that the man was the bag thief, so the police arrested him, and the detectives solved their first case. This fiction book is amazing because I loved the way they solved the cases and I also love that Sally Stick understands Fetch the dog. Sally was my favourite character, she is friendly and very kind to her partner. I would definitely recommend this book.

I liked it when Stick and Fetch thought that a beaver had accidently chomped down a lamp post after reading about beavers at the library but actually it was a car.

The best part of the story was when Sally and Fetch caught the bag snatcher because it was like I wasn't sure whether or not they going to capture the culprit.

Good. I really like it but it is quite short.
Baroness Jet Anteater 07.08.2021
my favourite character is fetch because he always gets distracted and it's always funny. my favourite bit was when fetch saw a frog under the bench with him and he bumped his head and a man was chasing after him. I also recommend this book to my friend because i think they'd really like it. this book is fiction.
