Being Danny’s Dog

Everything’s perfect at Rosemary Acres. All the streets are named after spices. The hedges and lawns are perfectly trimmed. The townhouses are all the same color.

For T.R. and his older brother Danny, things are too perfect. They’d rather still be living in Chicago with their aunt Cis, but their mom insisted the move would be good, another step forward after her divorce from the boys’ father.

Everything Danny and TR find to do at Rosemary Acres seems to be against the rules — rules that even their moody new friend Paul Brenimer find irksome, until Paul seems almost at the breaking point. Will he get Danny into trouble, too? How can faithful T.R. protect him against that?
