Sadi and Max Chapter Books (Dogs Are the Best)

The third book in my children's Sadi and Max Chapter Books is now available everywhere. So, how did a Romantic Suspense and Cozy Mystery author come to write a childrens series. This nana couldn't refuse to work with her only grandchild whose brainstorm it was.

One morning, on the way into town to get donuts, Sadi expounded to me about how special her new puppy was, a blue nose Pit Bull, although he might be a blue Staffy. She also related her knowledge of the bad rap these dogs receive and why. An idea popped, and she soon bounced on her seat while chewing her chocolate iced donut. We could write a book about Max and all his wonderful characteristics. 

As the months marched on, the idea took shape, expanding and twisting with imaginative tales. We've published three of these stories. I have no idea how many there will be—that depends on Sadi. When this project started, she was an eight-year-old little girl. Now, at twelve, she’s growing up, evolving, and although her passionate love for dogs will never change, the amount of time she’ll spend with Nana weaving stories might.

I've enjoyed every minute of working with Sadi. But I do have to tell you, the third book was more difficult to finish with a distracted pre-teen as my co-author.

Eight-year-old Sadi wants to find a puppy under the Christmas tree this year. She loves her two old dogs, but they don’t run and play anymore. How can she convince her parents she’s old enough to care for her own doggy? When they surprise her with a trip to the rescue home of Talia Wagger, it’s puppy love at first sight. She gets the best present in the entire world—Max. 

Max wants to be one of the lucky puppies who gets adopted. He cuddles up to his sister in the playpen to stay warm in the cold garage waiting for the humans to visit and hopefully choose him. When he sees the little human, he knows his wish has come true for the best home in the entire world—with Sadi. 

A car ride, missing his sister, meeting Sadi’s friends, learning what no means, and finding a way to get along with the two old dogs are only some of the adventures this puppy has once he’s in his new home. But when he listens to Mom, who laughs all the time, and Dad, who likes to tease, and his little human Sadi, who gives him hugs and kisses, he understands—he’s the luckiest puppy in the entire world.

Yay for spring break! Sadi has a whole week to play with Max, the puppy she got for Christmas. But something is bothering her playful dog. When they bump heads, and Sadi hears a voice, could it be Max, and will anyone believe her? 

Max is happy to be part of the family. He loves his humans and the two old dogs that are now his sisters. But he left another sister at the rescue home of Talia Wagger. He knows his sister Rosie is still there and lonely. He has to find a way to get her adopted. If only his little human Sadi could understand him… 

A neighbor who needs help and a puppy who needs to be adopted are all part of the adventure in this latest Sadi and Max book. Now that they can understand each other, Max has mischievous plans, but he’s also a puppy with a big heart—he enlists his little human on a mission to rescue.

Sadi is on summer break. Now she has lots of time to play games on her iPad, talk to friends on the phone, and play with her puppy, Max. But sometimes she wants to relax and just do nothing, especially after cleaning her room and sorting toys.

Max is happy to have Sadi home every day. He’s glad she doesn’t have to go to the blue buildings she calls school. But after three days, he’s bored. They need adventure.

Max talks Sadi into taking him to visit her friend so he can meet her two dogs, Tank and Dozer. He doesn’t count on a cat he isn’t allowed to chase. He doesn’t know the tales of adventure he spins will stir things up and cause mischief for his new friends. 

Now, he and Sadi are on a crazy, fast adventure to save Tank and Dozer from getting into trouble.
