Notes

182 p. NZ author. Harriet is missing her brother. She wants him to return to his untidy bedroom and make her parents happy again - like they were before he went away. Gus and Max keep the neighbourhood dogs in order - a kind word here, and a firm one there. Keeping out of the clutches of the dog catcher is crucial. When Harriet and Honey join them, things heat up. Who is the mystery benefactor who leaves them presents in the letterbox? Is the old house really empty? And most important of all, will Toby ever come back?
