Synopsis

This lovable new series introduces a little dog with a GIANT personality! 

Fenway is an excitable and endlessly energetic Jack Russell terrier. He lives in the city with Food Lady, Fetch Man, and—of course—his beloved short human and best-friend-in-the-world, Hattie. 

But when his family moves to the suburbs, Fenway faces a world of changes. He's pretty pleased with the huge Dog Park behind his new home, but he's not so happy about the Evil Squirrels that taunt him from the trees, the super-slippery Wicked Floor in the Eating Room, and the changes that have come over Hattie lately. Rather than playing with Fenway, she seems more interested in her new short human friend, Angel, and learning to play baseball. His friends in the Dog Park next door say Hattie is outgrowing him, but that can't be right. And he's going to prove it!

Get a dog's-eye view of the world in this heartwarming, enthusiastic "tail" about two best friends.

About The Author

Victoria J. Coe grew up in the seaside community of Duxbury, Massachusetts and went on to live in New York and San Francisco, as well as large and small towns on both coasts. During her family's most recent move, she noticed her dog's confusion and started to wonder what was going through his mind. As they walked in Boston's Fenway neighborhood, his reactions to the sights, sounds, and smells of the city took hold of her imagination. While she has written for many publications and nonprofit causes, writing her first novel for children is the realization of a lifelong dream. Victoria now lives with her family on the outskirts of Boston, where she and her dog are always on the lookout for delivery trucks. And squirrels.

Fans of FENWAY & HATTIE, get ready to be totally thrilled. This follow-up to the first book is everything I hoped for and more. The story is funny, sweet, engaging, and would make a perfect read-aloud for any 3rd or 4th grade class. Coe does an amazing job telling Hattie's story through Fenway's eye......more

Goodreads review by Bridget on December 28, 2016

Get ready for Fenway's second adventure--it's every bit as wonderful as the first! If I sound like a fan, it's because I most definitely am. Each time I tried to write this review from a distanced perspective, I couldn't, so I'm giving in and saying exactly what's in my heart. This book is not just......more

Goodreads review by Elly on September 27, 2016

I just finished reading the delightful FENWAY AND HATTIE AND THE EVIL BUNNY GANG by Victoria Coe. Another absolutely wonderful read! Coe jumps right into this fast paced story of friendship, tugs of jealousy, and what it really means to love unconditionally. Fenway’s travails happen with rhythmic pr......more

Goodreads review by Brooks on February 03, 2017

Fenway does it again! He's got all the charm any furry four-footed friend could possibly have plus an unquenchable thirst for scaring away those nasty squirrels. But this time there are bunnies...EVIL BUNNIES. Hattie and her parents' house could be in mortal danger and no one around seems to even re......more

Goodreads review by Kathy on April 07, 2017

Fenway is back, and this time he’s battling an evil bunny who’s trying to steal his beloved short human’s affections. The dramatic irony of Fenway’s dog’s-eye point of view of his Dog Park (backyard), Eating Place (dining room) and people like Food Lady and Fetch Man are just as endearing and hilari......more

Quotes

The 2017 Global Read Aloud Selection for early readers

“This perky, pet-centered tale takes readers inside the head of Fenway, an energetic and perpetually hopeful Jack Russell terrier with a deep love for food, intense hatred of squirrels, and undying adoration of his “small human,” Hattie. . . A fun, fresh frolic that animal-loving kids are sure to enjoy.”—Publishers Weekly

"Readers will relate to Fenway’s impulsivity and delight in descriptions from his dog’s-eye view. Teachers and adults will appreciate generous sprinklings of rich vocabulary. . .  Dog lovers will enjoy spending some time with Fenway as he adjusts to his new home in the suburbs." -Booklist

"Fenway's first-person point of view is appropriately frisky. . . Young dog lovers will enjoy Fenway’s point of view." -Kirkus Reviews

"Fenway may not understand Hattie’s behavior, but readers looking through his uncomprehending eyes will follow her ups and downs easily as she adjusts to the move. They’ll also wince in sympathy as she tries, with mixed success, to train, or even restrain, her barky, hyper, emotional pet. Eventually, once Fenway gets the connection between obeying commands like 'sit' and 'stay' and getting treats, the way is (mostly) clear. 'Making Hattie happy is a big job,' he concludes.'But luckily, I’m a professional.' " -School Library Journal
