Third Grader Jack Has A Secret -- He Can Talk To Animals! Can They Help Him Crack This Case? The Day I Found Out I Could Talk To Animals Did Not Start Out Well. First, I Couldn't Find My Lucky T-shirt. Second, My Dog, Scout, Dragged Me Around The Yard Chasing Squirrels. And Third, The Squirrels Threw A Bunch Of Acorns At My Head. After I Was Hit, I Realized I Could Talk To Animals! It Sounds Crazy But It's True. I Could Understand Scout, The Squirrels, And Every Other Animal--even Bugs! My Day Got Even Worse When My Best Friend Leo's Homework Went Missing. Leo Blamed Scout! I Know Scout's A Dog, But Trust Me--he Did Not Eat Leo's Homework. But How Would I Prove It? There Was Only One Thing To Do--i Had To Talk To The Animals Around Town. It Was Up To Me, Jack Doyle, To Get A Clue And Solve The Mystery. Third-grader Jack Doyle is walking his dog Scout when an acorn drops on his head and he suddenly discovers that he can converse with Scout and other animals and insects. This unusual development proves helpful as Jack tries to solve the mystery of why his best friend Leo's homework is missing.
