Nine-year-old Alice lives a quiet life with her father, her stepmother Annie, and two loyal dogs, Bella and Lola. But when a terrible secret comes to light, everything changes: Annie is a witch, and Alice is in danger.
Warned by Cricket, a brilliant talking insect born from a cosmic event, Alice flees into the wilderness with the dogs as her only protectors. Pursued by witches and dark forces, she must rely on courage, instinct, and the guidance of unlikely allies?including a mysterious shaman who commands wolves and eagles.
Told through twenty-four interconnected adventures, Alice, Cricket and Two Dogs blends survival, magic, and mystery into a middle-grade novel about courage, loyalty, and resilience. With touches of humor and wonder, it stands alone while opening a larger saga that continues in Alice and Agapogo.
