Jayne is a cat, raised as a dog. Found as a new-born she is brought up with a litter of puppies. And Jayne does not turn out to be just any kind of dog, she is the top dog, the main-man dog, the king-of-the-castle dog. She holds her tail up straight when she walks and brooks no nonsense. Jayne is a tough cookie—as tough as nails and as cool as cucumbers come—as she proves in (almost) all her adventures: with Bengal Bob, when flying and skydiving, as lifesaver extraordinaire and as mayor and saviour of the great city of New Philawashingyork. The Adventures of Jayne is a fun tale for family reading or for children to read themselves. Suitable for grades 1 to 5. Reg Down grew up in Canada, Namibia, South Africa and Ireland.
