Sammy and the Extra-Hot Chilli Powder
Book Review
This book is narrated by Sammy the dog!
This book is narrated by Sammy the dog! Sammy is intelligent and loyal. She enjoys being a detective and is a dog with a nose for solving mysteries.
I liked the book because there were some great friendships and a surprise twist at the end.
My favourite character, who was Sammy’s best human friend, was Beanie. I liked her because she was a great friend and very positive.
The pictures helped make this story a great read as well. I think you will love this detective-adventure book too!
About the Book
Setterpoo Sammy has a BRILLIANT sense of smell. She can sniff out ANYTHING – watches, explosives, even parrots!
But one day, Sammy sniffs some EXTRA-HOT chilli powder and loses her sense of smell COMPLETELY. It’s up to Sammy’s Best Human Friend, Beanie, to help her get it back.
And when Sammy finds out that someone is planning to steal a precious DIAMOND, she’ll have to use ALL her instincts to save the day!
