Meet the Beacon Street Girls...They're real, they're fun- they're just like you It's bad enough that Marty, the Beacon Street Girls' beloved pooch, has gone missing, but somehow the "little dude's" disappearance is creating tensions among the best friends. Was one of them to blame for Marty slipping out of his collar and running off? But when an opportunity to save High Hopes Riding Stable -- where Katani's bonded with a special horse -- conflicts with the chance to get Marty back from a surprising celebrity, the BSG might not all want the same thing. It's unthinkable -- but could Marty's disappearance break up the BSG?
Everyone in town is excited about the Brookline 300 Festival, and the Beacon Street Girls have made plans to meet up and experience the fun together. On the day of the event, Charlotte decides to bring Marty, the BSG doggy mascot. Katani, who is unexpectedly forced to watch her autistic sister, Kelley, for the day, decides to bring her, too. Avery takes Marty over to the batting cages, and when Katani and Kelley show up, Marty scrambles out of Avery's duffel bag to run over to Kelley. However, a nearby squirrel distracts him, and, before the BSG know it, Marty is gone! Accusations fly as Charlotte blames Avery, while Avery struggles to not break down over the dog's disappearance. The girls set up a website and put up fliers all over town, but turn up nothing but false hopes and wild goose chases. Finally, a lead pops up that might be legitimate, and the girls find themselves having to make a difficult choice. Should they take the opportunity to save the special riding stable that helps people like Kelley, or is Marty too special to be bought for any price? I loved the conflict in this particular BSG book. The author does a great job of showing multiple, legitimate sides to a difficult decision, and even demonstrated how solutions can be reached through everyday means. One does not need to be a fan of the series to appreciate this aspect. Reviewed by: Allison Fraclose
