Illustrated by Craig Smith.
Sputz, the family dog, vomits and slobbers all the way to the new house, and Angus and Emily don't blame him. They didn't want to move in the first place!
All their friends are back in the city and this place will never be a real home. The kids at school are either boofheads or bullies. And the teacher slobbers more than the dog. So it's quite a surprise when they find themselves fitting in.
'Hotshots' books have short chapters and lots of black-and-white illustrations, perfect for emerging readers.
