Movie for Dogs

Movie for Dogs by Lois Duncan

Andrea enters a writing contest for young pet lovers and comes in second place. First place was the neighborhood bully, Jerry Gordon, which made it worse. To make up for this, her brother works with her to make a movie for another dog contest. They end up becoming a finalist, along with another girl at the school. At first, they think the girl is a girlfriend of Jerry (thought they later learn otherwise.) When they go out to the studio, they also meet a talking dog. Unfortunately, the video is not able to be shown because Jerry appears in it and refuses to sign a release form. Eventually, they discover from a jilted girlfriend of Jerry's cousin that Jerry's book was just copied from an old book. Andrea wins the prize. The talking dog also stops talking and they end up getting it from the other contestant. (This dog makes a great therapy dog.) 

This book rehashes much of what was in the other books in the series. It starts to get a bit predictable.
