By Tommy Greenwald, Adam Stower (Illustrator)
Book #1 in the Crimebiters series
A boy suspects his new dog might be a crimefighting vampire.
Jimmy Bishop's life takes a wild turn when he gets a puppy with peculiar habits. Abby, his new dog, sleeps all day and is active at night, avoiding garlic treats. Could she be a vampire? As Jimmy and his skeptical friend Irwin investigate, Abby uncovers a crime and helps Jimmy connect with a new friend. Is Abby just a dog, or something more? Discover the truth in this humorous adventure.
Jimmy Bishop loves doing 3 things: 1) Laughing at funny dog videos online, 2) watching his favorite show (Stop! Police!) on TV, 3) and reading his favorite vampire book (Fang Goodness) over and over. His self-involved older sister and workaholic Mom think he needs to stop obsessing already! But when his Dad finally allows Jimmy to get a puppy before school starts, everything changes and Jimmy has something new to focus on: his amazing dog, Abby who seems to have some very unusual habits. She sleeps all day but is wired at night, and she runs from the garlic kelp biscuit made by Jimmy’s strange new babysitter Mrs. Cragg. There’s just something different about Abby. Could she possibly be…a vampire? Jimmy’s best friend Irwin thinks Jimmy’s being ridiculous, but then when Abby uncovers a real crime in progress and helps him become friends with an actual, human girl, even Irwin has to admit that perhaps Abby might have some super powers after all.
