Grk and the Hot Dog Trail giá ưu đãi

The Malts and the Raffifis are on holiday in New York City. But when a billion-dollar statue at the National Museum goes missing, the police need help catching the culprit. Escaping Mrs. Malt’s watchful eye, Tim and Grk take to the streets to follow the only clue they have—a trail of hot dogs. Racing after the criminal, Tim and Grk get chased through Central Park by the police, pedal madly across the Brooklyn Bridge, and sneak into an old factory in disguise. If anyone can save the statue, and the day, Tim and Grk are just the team to do it.

Joshua Doder lives in London, England. This is his third book about Grk.

“When the priceless statue of the Golden Dachshund is stolen from the exhibit of Stanislavian art at the National Museum in New York City, twelve-year-old Tim and his dog Grk, on vacation in New York from England, begin putting together clues., f For this is only one of a series of thefts of dachshund-themed artworks, such as Pablo Picasso’s Le Chien Chaud and a Leonard Da Vinci dachshund sketch. As Tim and Grk keep coming across a series of dropped hotdogs, suspicion seems to point to Doctor Weiner, who peddles his famous hot dogs all over New York City without a license. But following the hot dog trail puts both Tim and Grk in life-threatening peril. The beginning of the story presupposes familiarity with the two previous Grk books, where presumably we would have found out who Max and Natasha Raffifi are and why they are traveling with Tim’s family. Once the Golden Dachshund disappears, however, Doder hits his stride with a wonderfully far-fetched, fast-paced, and funny tale. Best is Tim’s breezy disregard for his parents’ worries. After slipping away from the airport just fifteen minutes before his flight home from New York is about to take off, racing around New York unaccompanied for days, and seeing his picture on the TV news as a missing child, he reluctantly agrees to call his frantic parents to check in: “They’ll be fine. They’re always fussing about something.” Readers should gobble this up as eagerly as Grk gobbles up a hotdog.”
