Dante N. Ferno Goes Mutts is the second book in this hilarious, highly illustrated series for children aged 7+, by author-illustrator Brian Gordon. Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

With no other options, Dante takes on the dreaded task of washing his stinky, three-headed dog, Cerby. When the neighbours hear about it, they're all keen to get their pets cleaned, and Dante soon ropes Virgil into starting a pet-washing and grooming business.

Business booms, but problems are never far away. Dante's annoying older brother Milton keeps interfering, the boys' friendship is pushed to the limit, and the clients just keep getting weirder and weirder...

Don't miss more of Dante and Virgil's hilarious adventures in Dante N. Ferno is NOT a Loser and Dante N. Ferno: Camp Catastrophe!

About the Author

Brian Gordon decided when he was six that he was going to be a cartoonist when he grew up. He spent the rest of his childhood drawing, writing funny stories and running away from bullies who didn't like his drawings or his stories. Despite being told by his teachers that cartooning wasn't a 'real job', he's happy to have proved them wrong and has been drawing silly things for a living ever since. He spent the first half of his career making greeting cards, but for over a decade, he's been writing Fowl Language, a webcomic read by millions around the world, about the ups and downs of parenting four kids. Now, he's also writing stories for kids - Dante N. Ferno is his debut series for kids. He has a wife named Cat and a dog named Pickles, who is very soft and loves getting his ears scratched.
