Kylie, an 11-year-old girl living in Cairns, North Queensland, has a new puppy called Skip and a best friend named Margaret. Life is good but new neighbours have moved in next door, bringing with them a savage dog named Brute. And when dogs start disappearing from the neighbourhood, Kylie begins to suspect that something sinister is going on.
And there are other pets which provide amusement, pathos and real life experiences. As a friend says: “Pets! The place is over-run with pets.”
While horse riding in the country on weekends Kylie and Margaret end up having to summon all their courage to confront the evil they discover. Join the friends in this life-and-death adventure when they have to be brave as well as resourceful.
