Book #5 in the Houndsley and Catina series
Can Houndsley and Catina's friendship survive Wagster's dazzling visit?
Houndsley is thrilled when his cousin Wagster visits, bringing adventure and excitement. But as Wagster dazzles everyone, including Houndsley's best friend Catina, Houndsley feels overshadowed. Will their friendship withstand Wagster's charm, or will Houndsley be left in the shadows? This heartwarming tale explores the dynamics of friendship and the challenges of feeling invisible when someone new enters the scene.
When his cousin Wagster comes for a visit, Houndsley is excited. Wagster is all adventure and enthusiasm and razzle-dazzle, and all his friends love him. Even Catina thinks Wagster is fun and good at everything, and pretty soon Houndsley is starting to feel a little bit invisible. But Houndsley and Catina are best friends, and certainly Cousin Wagster won’t change that—right? James Howe and Marie-Louise Gay have created a tender and funny story about some of the ways that friendships can change, and how they also stay exactly the same.
