When a puppy goes to the pet store so he can find a special family to take him home, he’s understandably nervous. But then he sees all the other puppies, kittens, fish, and birds playing. He’s happy to join everyone. When he wakes up from a nap, he looks out the pet store window and sees a beautiful little girl staring at him. Next to her is a man with a friendly face who calls the little girl KC. Is this going to be his new family, the puppy wonders. When the puppy arrives at his new home, he begins to investigate and meets everyone in his new family. There’s even a little boy that’s just his size to play with. The pup does some more investigating and his new mom tells him his name is Tanner Dog. “You are a good boy Tanner Dog. We love you, ” she tells him. Tanner Dog—the private investigator—doesn’t know it yet, but there will be plenty more mysteries to explore, and in the future, he’ll have some help from the professor cat next door, Mr. Vlad.

It's the winter of 1895 in Bluff Point, New York, and though chores and school continue, Danny manages to make time for fun. He and his family enjoy all that living in the country has to offer-ice skating, fishing, sledding, and even a winter party with friends and neighbors. Pa and Uncle Henry race their spirited teams and sleighs along the Ridge Road, and Danny is given his own small iceboat, one to be shared with Cousin Jay. One day while out on the iceboat, Danny fails to pay attention to where he is and how far out onto the lake he's gone. He spends a chilly, windless night alone on the ice of Keuka Lake. Cold and frightened, Danny chooses the wrong direction in the moonless night and walks further away from home. Can Danny find his way back before the winter wind turns even colder? Filled with wonderful, vivid details of late nineteenth century rural life, Danny and Life on Bluff Point: Lost in the Dark captures the innocence and warmth of days gone by.
