Rex Dexter is itching to have a dog.
But how? New York Times best-selling author Aaron Reynolds delivers a wickedly funny debut title in The Incredibly Dead Pets of Rex Dexter series..
And they need Rex to solve their mysterious deadly departures from the Middling Falls Zoo before it happens again.
Rex\'s uninvited ghostly guests are a chatty, messy bunch.
Even his best friend Darvish is not going to believe this, and that kid believes everything.
One hour and fourteen minutes later, the chicken is Dead (by a steamroller), Rex is cursed (by the Grim Reaper), and wild animals are haunting Rex\'s room (hounding him for answers).
Chicken? Pet poultry? How clucky. . . a . . .
Could it be? Yes It has to be A .
A box with holes and adorable scratchy noises coming from inside.
A box with holes.
When Rex\'s B-Day for Me-Day finally arrives, his parents surprise him with a box.
The dream of all dreams.
The best of the best.
Any pooch is preferable, but a chocolate Labrador is the pinnacle.
It\'s a dog\'s name.
His name is Rex, for crying out loud.
He was practically born to have one.
