Night of the Living Lawn Ornaments by Emily Ecton


Ecton, Emily Night of the Living Lawn Ornaments, 229 p. Aladdin (Simon), 2009.  $5.99.  

Thanks to Mr. Boots, her depressed, deranged Chihuahua, Arlie is up a tree with her best friend Ty, hiding from the neighborhood mean old lady.  When the group discovers a beautiful dragonfly pendant in the tree, they have no idea that all heck is going to break loose.  How about a walking Happy Hog, an orange kangaroo, a flock of lawn ornaments and a large variety of other characters.  Ecton’s book is a total, wild romp and I need to get my hands on the others on the series ASAP!
