Natalia Takes the Lead (American Girl: Like Sisters #2)

Scholastic and American Girl are an unbeatable team in this series that celebrates a group of girls so close, they're just like sisters.

Canine chaos comes to Seaview House! Several dogs are staying at the family bed and breakfast with their owners. There's even going to be a wedding -- with dog ring bearers! Natalia loves dogs and is eager to help out, so she offers to watch and walk all the guests' dogs. She's sure her sister, Zoe, and her cousin, Emma, will help, too. But Zoe and Emma are busy with soccer and the school play. Natalia doesn't realize she's bitten off more than she can chew until one of the dogs goes missing. If the girls can't find it, the wedding will be wrecked! Can Natalia find the runaway and save the big day?
