From New York Times bestseller Spencer Quinn comes book 2 in the laugh-out-loud series about the most epic rivalry of our time . . . Arthur the dog vs. Queenie the cat.

Queenie the cat has a BIG problem. And for once, it's not the slobbery, overly-excited creature who also lives at Blackberry Hill Inn. Sweet Lady Emsworth, the neighbor's prize cow, has disappeared, meaning no morning cream for Queenie. And when Queenie's not happy, NO ONE is happy . . .Things aren't looking great for Arthur the dog, either. His beloved humans, twins Harmony and Bro, are distressed about the strange activity in their town. Mysterious hi-tech people are suddenly very interested in nearby Catastrophe Falls, bills are piling up at their mom's inn . . . and now the twins might be hiding a fugitive?!Arthur is desperate to help but for some reason, no one seems to think he's up to the task. (Could that be because he can't remember what happened more than ten seconds ago? Surely not!)Can Arthur save the day-and become a hero in Queenie's eyes-without making a disastrous splash?

      Canine Arthur and feline Queenie narrate a high-stakes mystery in this second book of their eponymous middle-grade series. Arthur and Queenie take the stage as dog and cat co-narrators of this funny, deftly plotted mystery. Arthur is a delightfully foggy dog with a big doggie heart--not keen on exercise but very keen on food. For her part, Queenie is the epitome of cat aloofness and self-love. Arthur and Queenie live at Blackberry Hill Inn in Vermont, with Mom and 11-year-old fraternal twins Harmony and Bro; they are as devoted to their humans as they are antipathetic to each other. The same morning mysterious woman Ms. Pryor checks into the inn, Sweet Lady Em, the neighbor's famous-for-her-cream cow, goes missing, and Queenie, who gets a dish of cream each morning on her special saucer, is extremely unhappy about it. Then 11-year-old Jimmy Doone, Bro's friend, is blamed for the cow's going missing because, his father says, he didn't lock the barn door, but Jimmy insists that he did. Later, Jimmy's father is found seriously injured by a blow to the head, and why is Ms. Pryor nosing about Catastrophe Falls? The stakes ramp up considerably in this suspenseful and satisfyingly nuanced story. Arthur's and Queenie's hilarious personalities as they narrate in alternating chapters give the whole tale a refreshing spin. The people read as white default. Fabulous fun. (Mystery. 8-12)
