About this title

Synopsis

<p><strong>Ben's best friend Cooper is getting nasty notes from an unknown bully.</strong></p><p> On top of that, her dad is keeping his new girlfriend a secret. It's up to Ben and his basset hound, Blue, to help Cooper unravel these mysteries. As they "doggedly" pursue answers, the case takes surprising twists―and what they uncover turns their assumptions upside down. A story of kindness, love, and inclusion―not to mention a harrowing day at the zoo―this second book in the <strong>Ben and Blue</strong> mystery series will resonate deeply with children from non-traditional families and to children who have feelings of low self-esteem hidden deep inside, afraid of what others may think. But isn't that most of us? And couldn't sharing those feelings with someone you trust be the most transformative feeling of all? An Author's Note at the end of the book includes coping strategies for helping children deal with insecurity and feelings of self-doubt.</p>
