What We Know About Dog Man

Dog Man by Dav Pilkey

Dog Man by Dav Pilkey

Dav Pilkey began the Dog Man series in 2016. The first book in the series begins with a "Behind the Scenes" section. Here, the two main characters from the Captain Underpants books, George Beard and Harold Hutchins, rediscover a comics series they wrote in Kindergarten called "Dog Man." Now 4th graders, they decide to start the series again.

After this introduction, the main story begins when Officer Knight and his police dog Greg get injured in an explosion caused by Petey the Cat. To save them, doctors sew Greg the Dog's head onto Officer Knight's body, and Dog Man is born. His job is to fight crime and keep his city safe. Along the way, he makes friends and fights super villains.

Characters from the series include: Petey the Cat, the series antagonist who tries to take over the world; Sarah Hatoff, the world's greatest reporter who assists Dog Man and records his adventures; Lil' Petey, a clone of Petey the Cat who later becomes Cat Kid; Chief, the leader of the police department, who is grumpy but on Dog Man's side; and Piggy, a villain and the leader of the FLEAS: the Fuzzy Little Evil Animal Squad.

What We Know About Grime and Punishment

Dog Man: Grime and Punishment will be released on September 1, 2020. Like many other books in the series, the name involves a literary pun (you can teach your children about classic literature this way!). Very little information about the story is available, but we know Dog Man will face a new problem and he'll need his pack, the Supa Buddies, to help him out. It looks like the plot begins when Dog Man gets in trouble for digging up the mayor's roses. The book's official trailer says, "This time Dog Man's digging drives the meanie mayor mad. Luckily the Supa Buddies have the perfect plan to help the hound." Take a look at the trailer for yourself!

Karin Slaughter discusses 'Pieces of Her' on Netflix - The Washington Post

Karin Slaughter's 2018 thriller, "Pieces of Her," is nearly impossible to put down, but that doesn't mean it's a natural fit for an adaptation. While the novel opens with a riveting scene involving a nice suburban mom dispatching an active shooter with the dexterity of a trained assassin, much of the story unfolds in the mind of her daughter, 31-year-old Andy, as she embarks on a road trip to solve the puzzle of her mother's fractured past. As Andy learns, Laura Oliver, the protective speech pathologist who raised her, has a lot to hide. Netflix's new eight-episode adaptation, starring Toni Colette as Laura and Bella Heathcote as Andy, departs regularly from the source material: The grisly encounter that sets the plot in motion is mercifully less nauseating than the novel; one major character is added; and one villain, securely incarcerated in the book, instead remains at large. But, as Slaughter explained a couple days before the series premiered on Frida...
