Tank is an outgoing Great Dane. Haggis is a grumpy Scottie dog. In the first book in the series, Haggis and Tank set sail as pirates. At first, Haggis doesn’t see what Tank does–that an adventure awaits them with just a little imagination! But soon, Haggis joins in and the two friends go on a pirate adventure. They talk like pirates, swab the deck, and even search for buried treasure. This series is full of clever wordplay and homophones that make Haggis and Tank’s adventures even more fun!
Jessica Young grew up in Ontario, Canada. The same things make her happy now as when she was a kid: dancing, painting, music, digging in the dirt, picnics, reading, and writing. When she was little, she wanted to be a tap-dancing flight attendant/ veterinarian, but she’s changed her mind! Jessica is the author of the award-winning MY BLUE IS HAPPY (Candlewick Press, 2013) and I’LL MEET YOU IN YOUR DREAMS (Little, Brown, 2021), PLAY THIS BOOK and PET THIS BOOK (Bloomsbury, 2018), the HAGGIS AND TANK UNLEASHED early chapter book series (Scholastic Branches, 2016), the FAIRYLIGHT FRIENDS early reader series (Scholastic Acorn, 2020), A WISH IS A SEED (Creative Editions, 2020), the FINLEY FLOWERS chapter book series (Capstone Young Readers, 2015), SPY GUY THE NOT-SO-SECRET AGENT (Harcourt Children’s Books, 2015), and her first board book, BABY’S HERE! (Clarion Books, 2022). When she’s not writing, she loves sharing the creative process with readers.
