Lexi Torres is having a sad week. Her best friend is moving away, and now her favorite store, Toys Toys Toys, has closed. But the store that opens in its place, Power's Pets, has its own charms. Lexi has always wanted a dog, and her parents, scrupulous about the lawn and their family rules, have always said no. But when Lexi brings her parents into the pet store and fluffy puppy Luna shows off her special trick, sparkles fill the air and suddenly they say yes! Does Mr. Power's pet shop specialize in magical pets? Now the only thing bothering Lexi is her best friend Simon's standoffish behavior prior to his move. Luna and her special trick have helped soften a few of her parents' strict family rules; can she also heal the rift between these two best friends? The gentle, slightly magical tone of this first in a series is enhanced by To's charming black-and-white spot illustrations. Perfect for fans of Ellen Miles' Puppy Place series and Laurie Halse Anderson's Vet Volunteers.--Willey, Paula Copyright 2014 Booklist
