It’s nearly time for the Dogtown Tennis Grand Slam, but all the balls have been mysteriously going missing. Could Boris Barker, the famed international tennis pro, be behind it all? Or what about Steffi Gruff? Or Novak Dogavic? The Underdog Detective Agency is on the case: with Barkley the German shepherd, Carl the Chihuahua, Dr. Spots the Dalmatian, and Fang . . . the cat. (Yes, a CAT!) Can they save the day and serve up the criminal mastermind in time? Or will it be game, set, match? These beloved Australian crime fighters will appeal to emerging readers with humor, mystery, and action and are the purrfect next read for fans of The Bad Guys, Bad Kitty, and My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish.---from the publisher
