Penelope is a pleasant little pug who has quite the quandary: All she can remember is that she lost her Lady in the park while chasing the most dreadful squirrel. Now she dreams of one day finding a new Lady and a permanent place to stay. So when she finds herself taken in by the kind Lady Diggleton, she can’t believe her luck! But Penelope soon discovers that Lady Diggleton is searching for her previous owner and worries she will have to leave the Lady she’s come to love. To make matters worse, that dreadful squirrel keeps poking its nose in wherever Penelope happens to be. However shall she keep herself from chasing it again and ruining all hopes of tea parties, elegant balls, and a forever home? Perfect for readers of the Diary of a Pug series and future fans of Bridgerton and Jane Austen, the adorably illustrated pages of Puggleton Park are sure to charm chapter book readers.

Follow Penelope the pug in the second book of this delightful series set in Regency-era London! Penelope the pug is completely content in her new forever home with Lady Diggleton. So when her beloved owner receives an invitation to meet the Queen at Windsor Castle—and an instruction to bring the pug along—Penelope couldn’t be more pleased for her Lady’s good fortune. However, once the two arrive at the castle, their fortune starts to seem less than fortunate. The Queen commands Penelope to befriend her own pup, a snooty dog named Duchess whose manners are most offensive, and who wants nothing to do with the poor pug. But when the Queen’s prized Canis diamond ring goes missing and Duchess stands accused, Penelope—who knows the dog is innocent—must find a way to defend her. If the pug is certain that her fellow canine didn’t commit the crime, though, can she clear Duchess’s name by determining who did?

«Siempre he escrito para definir las cosas que no comprendo y que me afectan. Creo que comunicando mis ideas a los demás contribuyo a que tomen conciencia de la realidad en que vivimos, y así puedan enfrentar los males que nos agobian, sembrando semillas de esperanza que florezcan en cambios positivos para todos». J. M. Los personajes de Hombrecito desbordan fuerza y verismo, mostrando tal gama de matices psicológicos que los convierten en vibrantes prototipos de unos grupos humanos presentes en la sociedad actual. En este volumen, Jeannette Miller aborda temas que siempre conmueven y provocan: la desigualdad latente en las calles, los jóvenes luchadores, el racismo, la solidaridad y la redención, la sensibilidad por el medio ambiente, las relaciones entre clases sociales, la búsqueda de sentido, el matrimonio por necesidad y conveniencia, el artista comprometido… Los cuentos de Jeannette están llenos de hermosas insinuaciones y sutiles matices, que van del tono confesional a la remembranza íntima, del coloquialismo barrial a la narración objetiva.
