This book would be good for intermediate students. This book is "King and Kayla and the case of the found friend" written by Dori Hillestad, illustrated by Nancy Meyers, and published in 2019. This book is about Kayla and her dog King and they are detectives. When they ind a lost dog they go on a mission to find his family and they are successful. This book would be good to use in a classroom where there are kids just getting in to chapter books. The book has minimal words with lots of pictures still, but is still advanced compared to picture books. It has four chapters and is a good, fun, exciting books for children that would make them want to read more.… (more)

This book would work well for 2 or 3 grade readers. It's a pretty simple read but the text is longer than a picture books.
The book is from a series about King the dog and his owner Kayla, who are detectives. This book specifically is about King and Kayla who found a lost dog named Fred and their adventure to find Fred's owners.
I found this book to be beneficial for readers who are looking for a challenge. It's not too difficult to read but it is a bit on the longer side. It would introduce students to the concept of chapters and contains a good mystery for those who like detective stories.… (more)
