[2023]., Pre-adolescent, Kids Can Press Call No: ER FIC ADD Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "Isabel and Zoë are so excited to be starting Fun in the Sun Camp! It's too bad Isabel's dog, Rollo, isn't allowed, but the songs and sports, wiener roasts and crafts, swimming and storytelling will surely make up for that, right? Wrong! It turns out, the camp counselors do a big amount of saying no: NO singing your own song, NO running like a penguin, NO trading lunches (even when your sandwich bread is mushy from pickle juice!). Isabel wants to have her own Bigger Amount of Fun in the Sun Camp in the backyard, with Rollo, instead. But will Isabel's mom let her? And what will they do about Mr. Entwistle, their neighbor who lives on the grumpy side of the fence?"--From the publisher's web site.

-- Izzy's tale of trouble[2022]., Pre-adolescent, Kids Can Press Call No: ER FIC ADD Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "Isabel's dog, Rollo--'the cutest, funniest puppy' ever--just doesn't seem like himself these days. For starters, he doesn't fit into any of her best friend Zoë's doll clothes anymore when they try to play baby with him. But worse, he keeps doing things that get him into a very big amount of trouble. Like, even when both girls are holding his leash, he manages to jerk loose to chase a squirrel--then keeps running! And when no one's looking, he eats everyone's ice cream, right off the table! Sure, Isabel bent the rules (or, um, had no rules?) for Rollo when he was a baby. But now he's a teenager--and he's out of control!! Is there a cure for this?"--From the publisher's web site.
