Overview

Upton and the rest of the Charles family are on vacation in a small coastal town in Maine and something VERY fishy is going on.

Along with his new friend, Storm, the dog detective discovers an abandoned boat near Shell Light. Upton puts his nose to work

sniffing out clues...which lead to the secret of the lighthouse. Our inquisitive canine, a Bichon Frise (that's "BEE-shon free-ZEY"),

helps answer a tricky question: What's real and what's fake? Follow Upton as he gathers evidence and puts together pieces of

the puzzle to solve the mystery in Something Fishy.

About the Author

In addition to two adult mysteries, Hot Tea... Cold Case and There's Always Tomorrow, D.G. Stern has authored the "Upton Charles - Dog Detective" series for younger readers (www.uptoncharles.com) and has just released The Loneliest Tree for young readers 4-7. His taste for good wine and great food has been an inspiration in his writings and Mr. Stern is also the editor of Golf a la Carte (www.golfcookbook.com) featuring recipes from some of the nation's greatest golf clubs.

D.G. Stern is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School. Basket weaving (no kidding) and vintage car racing fill any empty moments.

Editorial Reviews

Perfect for the read-to-me or the I-can-read-it myself age group.... To solve the paw-fect crime, call Upton!

Boston Globe

Upton Charles will make a believer out of every reader.... As a teacher of constructive logical, deductive thought, Upton rules.

Midwest Book Review

Logical deductive thinking, teamwork, paying attention to random clues to put the jigsaw puzzle together, who would think these skills could be helped and taught by a dog, even a very smart dog?

Entrepreneur.com

The action-packed mysteries are intended to be "read with me" books so that parents and teachers can be involved with reading at an earlier age. Older readers can also read through and enjoy them on their own.

‘One of its appealing aspects is that it is a mystery, the other is that the main character is a dog detective who thinks out loud as the narrator of the story. Note, he is not a talking dog, just a dog whose thoughts we can hear.’ Kids First!
