Zai Johns introduced superspy Chrissy in
Animal Adventurers Book 1: The Murder at Thompson Manor
. As a CIA agent, Chrissy always catches the bad guy. But that's not the only thing special about her: she's also a talking Golden Retriever puppy! In her first adventure, Chrissy made new friends, solved a mystery, and found a forever family. Now she and her team, the Animal Adventurers, are back for an international mystery featuring fashion designers, rival spies, and evil dognappers.
It all begins when Chrissy and her team are ordered to protect Pierre Mattioli, an Italian fashion designer visiting America to accept an award. When kidnappers crash the ceremony, Chrissy finds a connection between Pierre and a group of professional criminals, who lead her on a chase across Europe. What do they want with the fashion designer, and how are they related to Chrissy's tragic past?
Johns loves writing about Chrissy's missions. She hopes the talking Golden Retriever puppy will inspire you to think about the many animals who are still searching for their forever homes. Fifty percent of the profits from the Animal Adventurers series goes to the Animal Adventurers Grant through Magnified Giving to help animal welfare organizations.
