Bookroo's summary

Cooper and Margaret find themselves trapped in the bodies of two sinister dogs. As they navigate a world of black-and-white, they must uncover the truth behind the canine curse before it's too late. Can they reverse the spell and reclaim their lives, or will they remain in their new, furry forms forever? The clock is ticking, and the dogs' true intentions are more dangerous than they appear. Dive into a tale of mystery and transformation where nothing is as it seems.

From the publisher

Two evil looking dogs cast a spell over two children, who wake up feeling kind of short, seeing things in black-and-white, and realizing with horror that they’ve switched bodies with the crazed canines.
