Editorial Reviews

"This entertaining story features Kateri O'Leary - a lovable and feisty redhead whose freckled Irish charm and hair-brained Irish Setter keep you turning pages. This is the second book in the series, in which Kateri comes up against teachers, bullies and even her friends, culminating with a hilarious dog show at the end. Kateri O'Leary is in over her red head. She's so tired that she's sleeping through her alarm and running to school late. She's forgetting assignments and being pestered by annoying boys. Adding to this, her Houdini dog, absent-minded mom and sulking pet mouse are driving her to distraction. I kept finishing a chapter and thinking "I'll just read one more..." In Kateri O'Leary Shirley Martin has created a memorable character, one that kids everywhere will relate to." - Joanna Streetly, author of 'Wild Fierce Life: Dangerous Moments on the Outer Coast'
