The Village Dogs of Pucklechuck: Book One

A dog is killed in the sleepy village of Pucklecuck and only one 'person' sees it. Mog. The incredible Sibyl Sparrows tell him he's the only one who can help them fulfil Kadmus Komplete - an age-old Prophecy which foreshadows the death of three dogs - and conquer the vile Mayor whose terrifying plan is to eradicate every dog because of an ancient grudge. Tensions rise and Mog is swept up into a fur-raising adventure, as he battles with belonging, loyalty and morality.Brimming with magic, mystery and warmth plus the steady rumblings of a future dystopia, THE VILLAGE DOGS OF PUCKLECHUCK: BOOK ONE is the beginning of an exciting fantasy duology for middle grade readers. Author Emily Garrett lives in Sydney and spoke at the Canberra Writers' Festival in 2022, appearing on Conversation with Michele Seminara: The Village Dogs of Pucklechuck and the All in the Family Panel.'The Village Dogs of Pucklechuck comes highly recommended - if you enjoy meaningful fantasy stories with outcasts and speaking animals, you will find all of that and more here! Magic, solidarity, power battles, the question of what's right and wrong - The Village Dogs of Pucklechuck is as deep as middle grade books often are, and therefore can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.' ***** The Artsy Reader
