There's trouble brewing in the woods of Beauville, and the only witness isn't talking. When Pru Marlowe is called to a forest clearing to help with an illegally trapped bear, she finds a colleague passed out drunk, his pet ferret locked in his truck. When one of her old running buddies turns up dead as well and then the town's pampered pets begin to disappear, Pru can't tell if her heavy-drinking colleague is involved—or how much the ferret, a wise little creature called Frank, knows. Frank's not communicating—even to her—and for once the bad-girl animal psychic is at a loss. The offer of a job—and maybe something more—from a hunky warden only complicates Pru's life as she goes on her rounds between her small Berkshires hometown and the woods that lie beyond. And although her crotchety tabby, Wallis, would have her make some changes in what has become a familiar routine, Pru knows her special skills set her apart as the only one who can shed light on these crimes—and save the animals at risk. But as the mysteries pile up, Pru is forced to admit that even a city-hardened animal communicator can't understand everything that's going on, and that a small town may be as dangerous as the darkest woods when a predator is on the prowl.

Camille Klump is an American author of children's fiction. F our Paws and Two Tales is the second part of a trilogy that recounts the adventures of a dog born on an island who, after two years, is finally reunited with his family and relocated to the USA. Now a young headstrong and rebellious dog, Woofy is faced with many challenges as he tries to adapt to a life of order and obedience with his human family. He struggles to overcome subhuman elements and his own animal instincts in order to serve and protect his owners. Through interactions with other animals and people, he begins to interpret their behavior and realizes there are many valuable lessons to be learned. He discovers that the color of a dog's eyes should not determine how he sees the world and being accepted as a member of the human pack demands great loyalty, sacrifice, and service. As his connection to humans deepen, he begins to use his remarkable power of healing, which comes at a great price. When he is left behind by his family, he is consumed with guilt and sadness, and it is only after being reunited with his mother, that he begins to appreciate the value of her wisdom, which helps to heal his broken heart. She offers him comfort after the sudden death of a loved one, a loss which leaves him with many unanswered questions. He is surprised to discover that, for some, freedom and happiness means having no home at all, that distance and time can never break the bond of a loving family, and no one should be quick to judge the circumstances behind the most difficult choices. An uplifting tale which reveals that being left behind never means that you are forgotten or no longer loved.

"Purtroppo Tommy non annusa. Questo è il suo vero problema! Se annusasse di più avrebbe meno guai secondo me." Parola di Teodorico, Teo per gli amici, cane filosofo e poeta, che si trova a dover affrontare grossi rischi per soccorrere il suo migliore amico, Tommy, che è caduto nelle grinfie di due bulli e non sa proprio a che santo votarsi, in un momento in cui gli amici sono tutti in vacanza, (sarebbero utili soprattutto i pugni di Pietro, detto la roccia), e i genitori... per carità, dei genitori non ne parliamo neanche, sarebbe davvero un bel guaio se lo venissero a sapere! Qualcuno che vorrebbe aiutarlo ci sarebbe, per dire la verità; una ragazzina italo-francese un po' sballata che si chiama Giselle e che è venuta a stare nella casa accanto. Ma quello che Giselle propone è veramente inaccettabile, purtroppo: un incantesimo da fare di notte seguendo le istruzioni di un vecchio, puzzolente e incartapecorito libro di magia. Roba da matti! Anzi, roba da femmine, secondo Tommy, eppure... ON TWO FEET AND FOUR PAWS, versione inglese del romanzo Su Due Piedi e Quattro Zampe, è una coinvolgente avventura da condividere con Tommy e Teo, che ci trascinano dentro la storia alternandosi nella narrazione e mettendo a nudo i loro pensieri e sentimenti. Adatto per bambini a partire dai nove anni e per tutti coloro che amano gli animali.
