In the Doghouse (Lizzie McGuire Mystery #5): To raise money for an animal shelter, Lizzie starts her own dog-walking and dog-sitting business with her two best friends, Miranda and Gordo. The idea is such a good one that cheerleaders Kate and Claire are seriously jealous-since their own lame pom-pom fundraiser is a total failure. Then someone lets the dogs out of the McGuires' backyard, and Lizzie is really in the doghouse. She not only has to track down the missing dogs, but she's also got to track down the guilty party before he or she strikes again! Could it be her jealous rivals? Her toxic little brother's idea of a prank? Or what about those two neighbors who wouldn't stop complaining about the barking? Time for snoop dog McGuire to sniff out the truth of this doggone mystery!

Cher journal, je viens de vivre le jour le plus désagréable de ma vie : j'ai complètement loupé ma sélection dans l'équipe de soft-ball du Chêne blanc ! Je ne sais pas ce qui s'est passé, tout est allé de travers... Mais ce n'est pas tout. Ashley est rédactrice pour le journal du collège, et elle a écrit quelque chose sur moi, dans la chronique mondaine ! Quelque chose qui doit rester secret ! Mary-Kate

Lizzie McGuire investigates to see who at her school is trying to undermine Kate Sanders.

Her kan man lese i Mary-Kates dagbok om hvordan livet på White Oak Academy internatskole er. Mary-Kate har prøvespilt for White Oak softballag, noe som ble en gedigen fiasko. I tillegg skriver Ashley noe om henne i skoleavisa ? noe som ingen skulle vite. Ikke rart at dette er den verste dagen i Mary-Kates liv. Serien ?Two of a Kind? er kjent for mange tenåringsjenter fra TV-serien med samme navn. Serien handler om tvillingparet Ashley og Mary-Kate.

Lizzie offers to sign on for some truly grueling undercover work. Her crush-boy, Ethan Craft, has entered this year's Mr. Teen Hottie pageant-and he's in major trouble. Someone is trying to wreck his chances of winning the top spot! Of course, to ferret out the fink, Lizzie will have to pose as Ethan's girlfriend. It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it, right? (Added bonus: it's sure to seriously annoy Lizzie's archrival-Kate Sanders, Queen of Mean!)

Lizzie is sent to science camp over summer vacation. Luckily, her best friend, Gordo, goes, too. When Gordo enters the camp's Best Invention competition, someone steals his entry--a brilliant formula for glow-in-the dark mosquito repellent. Lizzie promises to help Gordo find his formula.

Someone has been leaving creepy notes in lockers, notebooks, and knapsacks all over school, with messages like "I Know What You Did Last Week." Students are getting really annoyed. And the notes all appear to be written by one person-Lizzie McGuire! But who would want to frame Lizzie for such a totally bizarro prank? Time for Lizzie to track down the guilty party before she's exiled to Loser-ville forever!

Lizzie hurts the feelings of she-geek Audrey Albright and finds out it was a big mistake.

Summer vacation is here, and Lizzie's less than thrilled. Why? Because her parents were less than thrilled with her report card-so they're sending her to science camp. Ugh! Luckily, her best friend, Gordo, is going to Camp Bunsen Burner, too-but not because his science grades are weak. He's actually excited about going. Gordo even enters the camp's Best Invention competition. And that's the reason he needs Lizzie's sleuthing help . . . . Someone has stolen Gordo's entry-a brilliant formula for glow-in-the dark mosquito repellent. Is it Larry Tudgeman? Or the suspicious (but very cute!) camp counselor? Or could it be the chemistry teacher himself? Lizzie promises to help Gordo find his formula - and, in return, maybe he'll find a way to ger her outie!

Lizzie's parents are sending her away to camp. Science camp. Ugh! Okay, so her crush-boy Ethan is going. And her best friend Gordo too - but not because his science grades are weak. He even enters the camp's Best Invention competition - but when his entry is stolen, he turns to Lizzie for some sleuthing help. Ages 8+.
