Allie McMurphy here. It is August already and soon, Aug 29th, another one of my adventures arrives at bookstores and hopefully your bookshelf. This adventure my pup, Mal and kitty, Mella join in the hunt for a killer who is framing my cousin Tori. It all happens on Mackinac Island, Michigan-home of the World's Best Fudge and the Original Mackinac Butterfly House and Insect World.
The Butterfly House is so pretty and filled with rare and exotic butterflies that cost a surprising amount of money. We discover there is more than butterflies imported from Africa. Something valuable enough to kill for.

As friends, you should know that my love life has become a bit of a mess. My boyfriend, Trent, and I are going through a bumpy patch. To make matters worse, Trent and my cousin Tori dated in high school and seem to have more in common than Trent and I ever will.

So much for my trying to fit in to Mackinac society. Luckily my best friend, Jenn is around to help. With the dog days of summer in full swing, what is your favorite late summer passtime?
