Scout ponders exploring the sewers of Charleston to look for the lost pair of dogs.
Book Excerpt
The Missing Boston Terriers of Smith Street
Now, what to do? The dogs had been gone for a whole day and were probably hungry and smelly by now. Scout thought he had better find a way into the sewer to look for them. He recalled an enormous scary hole in the pavement two blocks down in the middle of the street. Dad had mentioned the pothole a few weeks ago and now it was a gigantic sinkhole. Who knew what was down there!
