Hannah West in the Center of the Universe — Linda Johns

Hannah West -- twelve-year-old adopted Chinese daughter of Maggie West and aspiring detective -- is back on the scene in a third original adventure. Someone is kidnapping canines, and it's got the dog-crazy denizens of funky Fremont -- where Hannah and her mom have landed their latest house-sitting gig -- all riled up. At first, Hannah's in heaven in dog-filled Fremont, but when her dog-walking business marks her as a suspect in the dognappings, she knows that this is one case that she's got to get to the bottom of -- for her own sake, as well as for the sake of her canine companions!
