About the Book

Piper is dead-set on winning the Gypsy Club Pet Show--if only her dog could learn a few tricks!

Book Synopsis

Previously published as Piper Reed, the Great Gypsy

The Dandelion Club Creed

We are the Dandelions of land and sea.
We move by wind and air.
We make friends wherever we go.
And everywhere we go, we let people know
That we're the Dandelions of land and sea.

Piper's dad--the Navy Chief--might be gone again, but Piper's got plenty to keep her busy at home: new neighbors, a spaceship beach house, a trip to New Orleans, and most important, the upcoming Dandelion Club pet show. Piper is determined to win, but teaching her dog Bruna tricks seems nearly impossible. Bruna is simply un-teachable! Or is she? Join Piper as she embarks on new and exciting adventures!
