The moment has arrived—the thousands of entrants at the prestigious Eastmunster Kennel Dog Show have been narrowed down to seven lucky canines. They and their handlers are nervously waiting for the Head Judge to arrive and determine which dog is the “Best in Show.” The Announcer introduces the Judge. She does not appear. The Announcer tries again. Silence. Suddenly, a minor official runs screaming into the ring. “Dead! She’s dead! Someone has killed Ada Glover!”
In the ensuing chaos, the crowd is left to wonder whodunit. Was it one of the finalists, scared of how the Judge would assess their precious pooch? Was it someone who was passed over for a place in the finals? Was it one of the dog fanciers in the audience? Or was it—YOU?
Appropriate for ages 13+!
