Mudder

Sometimes, helping a stranger can get you in trouble At Lake Tillotson Sleepover Camp for a two-week stay, Kathy Harmon and her best friend Martha Cunningham are thrown into the middle of a new crime spree. Someone has stolen a St. Christopher's medal, a diary, a bracelet, a silver picture frame and even Martha's ring! But Kathy's real trouble starts after she finds a filthy, stinky, not-so-golden Golden retriever tangled in some fishing line on the beach. Because she can't resist his chocolate brown eyes, auburn eyelashes, and caramel colored floppy ears, she calls him Mudder and tries to hide him from the camp leaders. With the help of Martha and her new friend Paisley (a boy), she barely manages to keep Mudder out of the limelight. After Mudder gets Kathy tagged as the prime suspect in the camp thefts and makes her fail the camp canoe class, Kathy thinks twice about asking her par- ents if she can adopt him... At the all-camp treasure hunt, Kathy and Mudder stumble on an old, haunted cabin, find the missing loot and the thief! Will help arrive in time or will they find something to help them get out of trouble fast?
