In the thrilling twelfth installment of Dav Pilkey's beloved series, Dog Man 12: The Scarlet Shedder takes readers on a wild adventure filled with humour, heart, and high-stakes action. Our favourite canine cop, Dog Man, finds himself in a smelly predicament after a surprising encounter with a skunk. Despite a heroic attempt to wash off the odour with tomato juice, he is left with a vivid scarlet hue that signals an unexpected challenge for the intrepid hero.

Exiled by a community that no longer recognises the hero beneath the red exterior, Dog Man faces the daunting task of redeeming himself and winning back the trust of those he has always protected. As he tackles this new challenge, he uncovers a fiendish plot hatched by a villain unlike any other—a menace armed with an army of A.I. robots that threaten to wreak havoc upon his city.

Enter Petey, the former rogue cat with a heart of gold. Torn between helping his canine ally and succumbing to the pull of his old mischievous ways, Petey finds himself in a moral quandary. Will he rejoin his underworld past, or will he stand by Dog Man to battle this powerful new foe? As friendships are tested and alliances are formed, the story deftly explores themes of redemption, loyalty, and the true nature of heroism.

With Pilkey's signature comic book style and engaging storytelling, Dog Man 12: The Scarlet Shedder promises a whirlwind of laughter and thrills that will captivate readers of all ages. Bursting with entertaining characters and unexpected twists, this instalment delivers a timely message about inner strength and courage in the face of adversity.

Perfect for fans of graphic novels and anyone who relishes a good dose of fun alongside their action-packed narratives, this book stands out as an unmissable chapter in the Dog Man saga. Join Dog Man on his colourful journey, and discover how even the strongest heroes sometimes need a little help to shed their scarlet shell.

About the Author

When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books -- the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants. In the second grade, Dav's teacher ripped up his comics and told him he couldn't spend the rest of his life making silly books. Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.
