My friend Linas just published his second book! I am going to have to wait a month to get a copy of it, but you can order your copy right now from his website http://linasalsenas.com/ or Amazon.com.

I already read Peanut, and I really liked it. You will too! Here´s the blurb about the book:

Poor Mildred is very lonely...until she gets a new pet! She names him Peanut and decides he's a dog. There's a problem, though: Peanut isn't like all the other dogs. He doesn't roll over. He never fetches. And his nose is much, much, bigger than that of a poodle, terrier, or pug. Perhaps there's more to Peanut than meets Mildred's eye... Linas Alsenas's Peanut is a charming story about companionship that will delight readers of all ages.
