The Hunt for Shadowclaw

Coming April 6, 2027. Pre-order today!

By: Alison James / Illustrated by: Wastana Haikal

A panther is loose in NYC!

Lenny is a bright, confident, young dog who dreams of being a member of the elite New York K-9 force. His lack of hind legs doesn’t hold him back. When he hears that a panther has escaped from the circus, he realizes this is the opportunity he has been waiting for!

In his search, Lenny meets Fred, a duck with autism who speaks only in movie quotes, and Bearnice, a dancing bear with Down syndrome. They combine their skills and try to find the panther. But when things go south, Lenny has to decide where his loyalties lie: his new friends or the K-9 unit?

An animal adventure that uses humor and heart to explore friendship and loyalty, perfect for reluctant readers looking for a fast-paced story with graphic novel elements.
