Children's Book Review: The Blue Stealer, by Darrel & Sally Odgers
Reviewed by Sally Murphy
The tenth title in the Dog Detective series.

|  |
Sarge is a clever person.
Even clever people sometimes get hold of the wrong end of the stick.
This is a fact.Jack Russell, dog detective is back on the case. Someone is stealing special things from the humans of Doggeroo. But what is worse – much worse – is that the favourite things of Doggeroo’s dogs are also going missing. Foxie’s boot, Shuffle’s pug cloth, even the Squekes’ plastic chop, have all gone missing. Jack needs to help his friends get their things back – and, if he does, perhaps he can help Sarge solve the mystery. The Blue Stealer is the tenth title in the Jack Russell: Dog Detective series, a series which doesn’t become stale. Authors Darrel and Sally Odgers manage to come up with new twists and new characters each time, as well as the familiar first person (first dogson?) narrative of Jack, the Jack Russell terrier who never lets a mystery rest. Good stuff, sure to entertain young readers.
