Barking Mad

Sit, stay, and prepare to laugh your tail off!

Dive into the wacky world of Fingers and his family in this side-splitting middle-grade adventure that will have you howling with laughter!
When Finn’s beloved Granddad starts acting more dog than human, things get seriously weird. Licking the postman? Growling at strangers? Chasing security guards up trees? Something’s definitely not right!
But that’s just the beginning of this tail-wagging tale. When Fingers and his sister Sally stumble upon a strange contraption in Granddad’s workshop, they unleash a whirlwind of mix-ups and mayhem. Suddenly, Granddad’s not the only one acting strange – even the family dog, DaVinci, seems a little too… human.
With time running out and sanity slipping away, can Fingers and Sally untangle this mess before everyone ends up in the doghouse?
