Village Dogs of Pucklechuck - Emily Garrett - Bog

In the dead of night, a dog is killed in the sleepy village of Pucklechuck.

And half-Giant, Mog is the only one to see it.

Only he can help the thousand-year-old Sibyl Sparrows fulfil Kadmus Komplete - an age-old Prophecy which foreshadows the death of three dogs - and conquer the unruly Mayor whose terrifying mission is to eradicate every dog because of an ancient grudge.
What Mog really wants is to be one of the villagers but instead he's catapulted into a fur-raising quest, as he battles with belonging, loyalty and morality.

Brimming with magic, mystery and warmth plus the steady rumblings of a future dystopia, The Village Dogs of Pucklechuck: Book One is the beginning of an exciting fantasy duology series for middle grade readers.

Author Emily Garrett lives in Sydney and spoke at the Canberra Writers' Festival in 2022, appearing on Conversation with Michele Seminara: The Village Dogs of Pucklechuck and All in the Family Panel.

'The Village Dogs of Pucklechuck comes highly recommended - if you enjoy meaningful fantasy stories with outcasts and speaking animals, you will find all of that and more here! Magic, solidarity, power battles, the question of what's right and wrong - The Village Dogs of Pucklechuck is as deep as middle grade books often are, and therefore can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.'
