Books with author Susan Lyons

Solo and Spike live on farms near the sea. One night, they answer the call coming from Spyglass Cove and join up with Captain Rollo's motley crew of sea dogs. They sail off on a mission to rescue Princess Esme from pirates, not realizing that Mittens, a pesky cat from Solo's farm, has stowed away. Once she's discovered, Mittens finds herself and Solo right in the midst of the rescue plans. Spike has his part to play as well, and the trio must prove themselves worthy sea dogs (and a cat) if they want to get home again.

The Sea Dogs and Mittens are at it again! This time the jolly band of sailors transports the poodle princess and her friend back to their island home, Canis Poodlia. In the meantime, Carbuncle Clyde finds Captain Rollo’s gold medallion and tries to discover the coin’s magic. Too late to recapture the princess and Lady Mimi, Clyde takes Mittens from Spyglass Cove and then nabs Solo from Canis Poodlia. He plans to hold them for ransom instead of the poodles. The Sea Dogs sail to save Solo (not knowing about Mittens yet). At sea, Captain Rollo and his crew challenge the pirates on board the Dirty Dog. Solo is in mortal danger, but a surprise rescue saves him and his rescuers help save the day. Carbuncle Clyde and the pirates are subdued; Captain Rollo gets his medallion back and reveals its secret.
