Finding high quality, current mysteries to add to the collection of the Cam Jansens and Jigsaw Jones of beginning chapter book fame has just gotten easier. With The Buddy Files series, Dori Hillestad Butler has created a funny, clever pet therapy dog with a nose for all things food named Buddy to fill the niche. In this installment, Buddy and his human, Connor, are attending the annual fourth grade sleepover in the library. The story jumps right into the action with the rumor that Four Lakes Ele...more
Netgalley copy. Buddy and his human, Connor, are ready to solve another mystery- this time at the 4th grade sleepover at school. Agatha, ghost that haunts the school, was introduced in previous buddy stories. In this story, the children think they see Agatha. Connor, Michael, and Jillian each receive mysterious notes before the sleepover. They each follow the directions which leads to a surprising discovery and a secret society. Buddy narrates the story from his point of view and frequently uses...more
Buddy the school therapy dog has a new case to solve: is there a ghost named Agatha that haunts Four Lakes Elementary? The fourth grade library sleepover should be a perfect opportunity for Buddy to investigate!
This was a great read aloud that I look forward to purchasing and sharing with my library students. I was worried that I’d have to have read every Buddy book in order first (I had read the first two), but that was not the case at all. Thank you Albert Whitman & Company for giving me t...more

Mysteries seem to be the genre most difficult to find for young people, so I'm happy for this series. It's written for early chapter readers, with plenty of humor and a character they will love. It's still a mystery, though. The clues are clearly listed and readers are invited to solve along with Buddy. Tail-wagging fun.
I am a sucker for this series, I actually liked this one better since they have gotten away from the whole pound thing (I only read the first three). I do think the earlier ones in the series were easier to read, with more repetition, but this is still a very easy read.
I received an advance reader's copy of this book from netgalley.
I hadn't read any of the previous Buddy Files before I read this one.
My kindergartner really enjoyed reading this book along with me, and so I will probably search out more of these books.

Cute, but not my favorite in the series. My son and I always get a big kick out of how everything is Buddy's "FAVORITE food!"
Buddy is a very intelligent family pet. He joins his owner at a sleepover hoping to learn more about the school ghost. Buddy gets a little more than he bargained for when other mysterious things begin happening. As usual Buddy helps solve the case, at least for the moment. His old acquaintance, Cat with No Name, seems to think they haven't heard the last of the school specter. The Buddy Files is a fun intermediate chapter book series that will entertain young readers who like mysteries and anima...more
