From #1 international bestselling author Isabel Allende and award-winning illustrator Sandy Rodriguez comes a brand new adventure about Perla the Mighty Dog, and the family who love her!

Perla is a small dog with a BIG personality with very impressive roar! She is the best friend and loyal guard dog of seven-year-old Nico Rico.

But, there's a problem . . . Nico has fallen IN LOVE! He has a huge crush on 'the Princess', a new girl in the neighbourhood who is never seen without her yellow gown and plastic tiara.
Perla isn't at all impressed – after all, why should the Princess get all of Nico's attention when she's just a normal human girl with no superpowers?! But when Nico and the Princess find themselves in peril, it's up to this scrappy rescue pup to come to their rescue.

Can Perla save the day?

The adorable third book in Isabel Allende's picture books series, following Perla: The Mighty Dog and Perla and the Pirate.
