  Welcome to the Pooch Parlour, where pets get pampered and mysteries get solved!

  Mrs Fudge has hired a cool new assistant who is an instant favourite with all the dogs. Pippa Peppercorn isn’t so sure – there’s something strange about the new girl. Meanwhile a mysterious spotty dog is causing havoc around town . . . Will Pippa and Dash the talking dachshund save the day?

  The second in the magical Pooch Parlour series

  Anna Wilson lives in Bradford on Avon with her husband, two children, two cats, one dog and five chickens. She is the author of many young-fiction novels published by Macmillan Children’s Books – and while many of them have been about pets, this is the first to feature a talking chicken.
