Bookroo's summary

Hank's plan to earn money for a new bike by pet-sitting takes a wild turn when his first client, Otis, a massive and homesick dog, falls ill. With the help of his meddlesome neighbor Janie, Hank must navigate the chaos and get Otis to the vet before it's too late. Can they save Otis and Hank's pet-sitting reputation, or will everything unravel? Dive into this adventure where responsibility meets unexpected challenges.

From the publisher

When Hank leaves his bike in the driveway to be run over by his dad, he needs to help pay for a new one. But Hank is a kid. What can he do? Pet-sitting sounds easy! But Hank’s first customer is huge, homesick Otis. When Janie, Hank’s pesky next door neighbor, tries to help, things spin even more out of control. What if Otis isn’t just homesick? And what if Hank and Janie can’t get him to the vet in time? Aligned to Common Core standards and correlated to state standards. Calico Kid is an imprint of Magic Wagon, a division of ABDO.
