Agent: Marietta Zacker, Nancy Gallt Literary Agency. Coe, making her children’s book debut, describes the trauma of the move and Hattie growing up through the excitable dog’s eyes, nose, and playful vocabulary (thunder is “boom-kabooms” and Hattie’s parents are “Fetch Man” and “Food Lady”) turning Fenway’s everyday routines into a fun, fresh frolic that animal-loving kids are sure to enjoy. “Nothing can bring a short human back,” the dogs next door explain, but Fenway is determined not to lose Hattie, even if that means learning some new tricks. Worst of all, Hattie seems more interested in friends and softball than games of fetch.
When the family moves from the city to the suburbs, the adjustment is hard for Fenway: there’s a slippery new “Wicked Floor” to traverse and a dog park without any dogs (i.e., the backyard). Fitting in can be a tough business, but luckily both Fenway and Hattie come around to realizing that being true to themselves is much more important.This perky, pet-centered tale, first in a planned series, takes readers inside the head of Fenway, an energetic and perpetually hopeful Jack Russell terrier with a deep love for food, intense hatred of squirrels, and undying adoration of his “small human,” Hattie. He lives in the city with food lady, fetch man, and, of course, his beloved short human, and best friend in the world, Hattie.But when his family moves to the suburbs, Fenway faces a world of changes. When Hattie starts using a word Fenway hasnt heard in a long. Fenway is an excitable and endlessly energetic Jack Russell terrier. Fenway can sympathize, because a tiny dog is doing the same thing to all the other dogs. by Victoria J Coe Fenway gets a taste of the wild when he goes on a back-to-school. Especially when one certain kid that all the others seem to follow everywhere starts bossing everyone around. Hattie seems excited about it all, too, and happy her friend Angel also came, but when more families arrive with lots of new kids, she starts to smell nervous. The family fills the Food Box with yummy hot dogs and loads it in the car! Fenway is thrilled that he gets to go along wherever they are going, and is even more excited when they arrive in the wilderness with tons of new scents to investigate, dogs and humans to meet, and lots of meat cooking over fires. When Hattie starts using a word Fenway hasn't heard in a long, long time - "skool" - some other things change as well.
