Fred’s emotions have gone to the dogs! Fred’s teacher and Luisa might be excited about their “old-timey” research trip to the library, but Fred is not. In fact, the whole project—and his continued failures at it—are making him angry! That is, until he realizes he has the perfect solution to his problem: Simply write one of his “What If” poems, tap into the power of pretend, turn into Frankinchool, and voila! Project, cancelled.
Trouble is, the poem doesn’t work, which makes Fred even fussier—especially when speaking to his friends Luisa and Drake. But while on a quest to find Luisa and apologize, books fly off the library shelves, students nod off at their desk, Drake grows head-snakes, and once again, Fred becomes Frankinschool. But this time, they have no idea how or why.
In Book Three of the Frankinschool Mysteries, readers set off on an adventure with Frankinschool through secret passageways and grand rooms of a mansion-turned-library. Along the way, they run into old ghost-friends and a few new ones; they learn about managing expectations, anger, and friendships, and discover that sometimes going-to-the-dogs is a very good thing.

"This supernatural mystery for elementary students is a delight, with black & white illustrations and large print for easy reading. The text is written simply, with relatable characters and just enough monsters and magic to be exciting." -- Children's Literature, A CLCD Company

"Gone to the Dogs: Frankinschool Book 3 weaves an emotional journey within the backdrop of supernatural adventure -- a journey from anger and isolation to healing and redemption." -- Feathered Quill Book Reviews

"The way the author handled emotions was also much appreciated. The path of the protagonist is about learning how to control and communicate emotions in a healthy way as much as it is about cracking a riddle or running from a difficult circumstance. This book has something for people of all ages to learn and connect with. Even though they seem simple, the bonds in the book seem real and inspiring. Kids' book characters going on a trip of self-discovery is beautiful, and it's not just about how they connect with each other.
There's no doubt that this will become a favorite for many young readers." --The Book Revue
