Welcome to Bowwow! Join the adventures of feline and canine investigative reporters, Mittens Meow and Alex Digger, as they chase stories, solve mysteries, and bring justice to the good citizens of Bowwow. Alex has a passion for food, but his snacking future is jeopardized when his favorite baker suffers a terrible theft! Together, he and his best friend Mittens—the bravest, smartest (and bossiest) reporter at the Bowwow Bark—must find justice for Grandma Basset. Who robbed the top-secret recipe? Was it the disgruntled designer Dotty Dipstick, who angrily quit that very morning over "creative" disagreements? Or perhaps it was Robert Roland, the suspiciously evasive engineer? Or could there be someone even more sinister lurking beneath the small town peace? Mittens and Alex may be the most famous investigative reporters at the Bowwow Bark, but they'll need all their wits to crack this case. Otherwise, Alex just might starve! Can they uncover the culprit in time? Searching for truth, justice...and cookies! This is the first entry in Collar Cases, a Christian mystery chapter book series for kids ages 7-11. Boys and girls alike will laugh at the high-energy hijinks of hyper-focused Mittens and hyper-hungry Alex as they solve crimes and learn lessons about character in their small town. Each book has a theme Bible verse and contains a short family devotional in the back for further discussion.

A field trip to the local art museum with Mittens' rambunctious nieces takes an unexpected turn when a priceless Monet painting is stolen! With their reputations on the line, the museum leadership desperately turns to Mittens and Alex for help. Will the detectives see past the deception around them to discern friend from foe? Could this be another crime organized by the mysterious Ruffled Feathers? Most importantly, can the museum survive the antics of the crazy Kastle kittens?

History comes alive. Literally. It’s been a rough week for Mittens Meow. First, she and Alex return from their Ruffled Feathers adventure in Canada, exhausted yet eager to publish what could be the news story of the year. Before Mittens can type up her notes, somehow the story is stolen by Rosa Puff, an unscrupulous reporter for BTV Twerp . . . and Mittens’ sworn enemy. Still stewing over the injustice, Mittens is happy to have an excuse for celebration: her archaeologist friend has just announced the pinnacle discovery of his career! But on his big night, a priceless artifact goes missing and an ancient curse is unleashed on Bowwow! Can Mittens and Alex prove it’s all a hoax before Dr. Honda’s career is ruined? Or will he go to jail for a crime he didn’t commit? This is the fourth entry in Collar Cases, a Christian mystery chapter book series for kids ages 7-12. Boys and girls alike will laugh at the high-energy hijinks of hyper-focused Mittens and hyper-hungry Alex as they solve crimes and learn lessons about character in their small town. This book’s family devotional unpacks the command in Luke 6:27 to love our enemies. It’s written by Laurie Christine, veteran boy-mom and parenting podcaster.
