A charming story for dog lovers everywhere--and soon to be a major motion picture!

The Walkers are moving to a new town, and staying with an aunt who's allergic to dogs. Too bad for Andi and her brother Bruce, who love dogs -- and happen to meet a stray that needs help. Soon, Andi hatches a plan, turning the abandoned house down the block into a hotel for dogs. But as more and more tenants move in, the secret gets too big to keep. Can the kids save their canine castle? Or will the hotel have to close?

From the Author:
Believe it or not, I wrote HOTEL FOR DOGS in 1971.  The book came and went with little fan fare, because everyone wanted me to "stop playing around with books for younger readers" and get back to writing young adult suspense novels.

Then, one day, in 2008, when my film agent was out in Hollywood, marketing firm rights to those popular suspense novels, one of the producers at Dreamworks asked, "Are those by the same Lois Duncan who wrote HOTEL FOR DOGS, my favorite book when I was a little boy?"

The book was long out of print, and my agent had to phone me to find out.  I dimly remembered having written that book, but it had been so long ago that I'd forgotten what it was about and had to order a used copy on line to find out.

The rest is history.  HOTEL FOR DOGS became a big screen movie, and I got to go to Hollywood to watch part of the filming.  Hollywood makes everything more sensational, so my dog refuge, (which in the book was a deserted house), became a deserted hotel in the movie, and my original nine dogs became 60.  I even got to be an extra in the scene where the dog catchers rush in to capture the dogs!

Scholastic republished the book, and I continued on to take "Andi" and "Bruce" and their canine friends through further adventures in two sequels -- NEWS FOR DOGS and MOVIE FOR DOGS.
--Lois Duncan
