This new graphic novel series has enough charm and humor to entice even the most reluctant reader. Sophie, a lovable chocolate lab, is the star of the series. The first two volumes are set to be released next Tuesday, October 15th.

In the first book, Jurassic Bark, we meet Sophie who gets full attention from the man and lady of the house. That’s the way it is supposed to be for dogs. Right? Not so fast as suddenly a baby arrives, an attention grabbing little brother named Doug. Add to that are two scheming cats and a few irritating squirrels.

Sophie first tries to get rid of Doug but soon they become partners. With his active imagination, Sophie takes Doug on several fantasy adventures. They go searching for the Temple of the Lost Cookie, fight the bad guys disguised as The Canine Crusader and Cat Baby, and take a trip into outer space.

The brightly colored comic style panels will have you zipping through the 224 pages and leaving a satisfied smile on your face.

More fun can be had in Volume 2, Frankenstein’s Hound. Sophie has new challenges as the cats are seemingly trying to take over the world. There’s also a new litter of foster pups who are all adopted except Jack. He and Sophie team up for a battle against the Ninja Socks. By the final page you will be wishing for more Sophie and her fun way of dealing with adversity.

I know Sophie will be in high demand. Kids always pick up the colorful books first. They won’t be disappointed. Sophie will win them over in every scene.
