Summer break has just started and Riley Carson is upset about the chained dog in her neighborhood, but she has no time to think about that. As Riley and her own dog, Sammy, are walking home, they are being followed by a strange man…block by block.
When Sammy goes missing, Riley is terrified she’ll never see him again. He is everything to her.
Riley and her best friend, Finn Murphy, learn that looks can be deceiving, help can come from the unlikeliest of places…and sometimes grown-ups need help too.
In this prequel to the Riley Carson Series, we get to know Riley and Finn and their love of dogs and adventure in their historic hometown of Roswell, Georgia.
