ABOUT CHARLOTTE
Charlotte is a pug, Yes, a dog--tan, black face, curly tail. But not an ordinary pug. Day after day, she followed some boys and girls into school. Soon she started to act like them. Soon she was even able to talk to them.
Charlotte's also a detective. A very good detective. She has solved many crimes and mysteries. In this case, she joins friends, eight-year old twins, Matt and Jason, at their aunt’s lake house. Jason believes there is a ghost. The twins hire Charlotte to solve the mystery.
Here is the first chapter :
THE CASE OF THE GHOST AT THE LAKE.
A GHOSTLY CALL
It was another hot Minnesota summer day. Charlotte was in her doghouse lapping up a cool drink and working a crossword puzzle.
She was trying to think of a four letter word for rabbit when her cell phone rang.
She lay down the puzzle. She hit the button on the phone with her paw. “Crimes and mysteries solved," she answered in her most business-like voice.
“Charlotte, it’s Jason. You have to help us. There’s something fishy happening at the lake.”
“Something fishy at the lake doesn’t sound like much of a mystery to me,” she said.
Jason and Matt were eight-year old twins Charlotte knew. She'd spent many good times at the lake with them.
“Yeah, well, we were up at the lake last week. We think the lake is haunted. We want you to help us catch the ghost,” Jason said.
Charlotte had never caught a ghost. She had caught thieves and other criminals. But never a ghost.
"Will you come up to the lake with us," asked Jason.
"Yes," she said. What would it be like to meet a ghost? And how would a ghost act if it met a pug?
"Pack your backpack. We'll pick you up at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Charlotte put the phone down. She wrote H A R E for rabbit in the puzzle. Then she put the puzzle away. She had more important things to do.
She got out her backpack. She put in her toothbrush, notebook and doggie treats. She added goggle, snorkel and fins.
Charlotte wondered what she would need to catch a ghost.
