UGH!!!! to many good people lost but spoiler and the thing that gave me the stress THE DOG LIVES AT THE END. i bought the complete series and loved every book and the writing was made all the better being read by Kevin Pierce. Mr Pierce is my favorite narrator and in the past i have bought books just because he was narrating them. this story, these stories Mr Schow are well written and very enjoyable, thank you. i did many times want to smack Rowdy and Cody and especially Chloe. i just finished the last book and am digesting the series now maybe theere could be other stories about Evie and Huckleberry as teenagers with a dog of their own and the Banks brothers ofcourse and please dont kill anyone else from the core family, it makes it so hard to go sometimes. i have even laid down books and walked away from them never to finish them because the core charaters died any way thank you for these wonderful storeis
