The world's happiest and most dog-friendly superhero is here! A brand new, charming adventure for young readers.
Meet Harriet Hound. She's eight years old and loves dogs!
But Harriet has something else that makes her super ... the power to summon the dogs from her family's rescue shelter every time there’s trouble afoot.
Whether it's a carnival catastrophe, a sudden storm, or vanishing vegetables, Harriet and her best dog friends use their super special talents and problem-solving skills to save the day!
Perfectly judged stories that will thrill young readers with intriguing mysteries, simple-yet-rhythmic writing and a highly inventive brand of canine magic. * Andrew McDonald *

A sprinkle of magic, a superhero in doggy pjs and a dog for every occasion are the stars in this paw-some tail. Foster writes of Harriet’s exciting life with bags of heart and a clear understanding of autism that shines through in each of the three short stories. * A Word About Books *
The Autistic representation in Harriet Hound is charming and authentic. Many of Harriet’s experiences will be relatable to young Autistic readers…Everything about Harriet Hound is loveable; the book was pleasure to read.... I applaud the affirming depiction of autism which illustrates that being Autistic is simply a different way of being, not something that is wrong or to be ashamed of. I highly recommend Harriet Hound for young readers. * Autism Books by Autistic Authors *
