|  | Smart Dog by Vandevelde
Amy Prochenko is only in fifth grade, but she already has a sixth-grader's problems: She is wildly unpopular. She is the target of prissy Kaitlyn Walker's social torments. And everyone thinks she and the dweebiest boy in class are dating. Then one day Amy meets Sherlock, a dog who is on the run from a university lab. Sherlock is not like other dogs: He can talk, and he's smarter than most of Amy's classmates. And he needs Amy's help. Suddenly Amy finds herself doing crazy things she'd never imagined, finds her life full of danger and excitement, finds herself becoming -- of all things -- popular. Best of all she finds in Sherlock the sort of friend she's always longed for, the sort of friend who will sacrifice anything for the sake of the friendship, the sort of friend she must rescue no matter what the cost.

 | Cat in the Dark by Shirley Murphy
I'm a cat, said Dulcie. Of course I worry, Joe. What if the cops set up a stake-out? What if they witness a cat opening a skylight and masterminding a robbery? The tabloids will love it. Every nut in the country will read about the trained burglar-cat. Or, heaven forbid, the talking cat. . . . There's a bad new cat in sleepy little Molena Point: a renegade tom with a penchant for robbery, a scorn for his fellow felines, and a disdain for human laws. And he's masterminding a crime spree that's quickly escalating toward murder most foul. Dulcie and Joe Grey both know the score--they've seen Azrael in action. But how can they expose the criminal without letting ordinary, untrustworthy humans in on the secret that certain select cats can think, and talk? Cats like them . . . AUTHOR: Shirley Murphy
