What to expect
“Hi, my name is Rusty. I am a puppy who loves secrets, but I just can’t keep them to myself. That is why I want to share a very BIG one with you about me and the young girl, who is my owner, Emma Puff. Just yesterday I was a grumpy old dog and Emma was 90 years old. You won’t believe what happens next…”

Mr. Musk is the hilarious but naughty parrot who knows all their secrets. When he accidentally creates a mysterious elixir, the magic begins to happen. Old Emma and Rusty become young again and chaos ensues. The duo gets a second chance to appreciate the joys of childhood, the importance of friendship and family while holding on to their old souls. The story is designed for, but not limited to, young listeners, family members, guardians, and teachers, who enjoy sharing stories that encourage children to love reading and to value people of all ages. All are sure to be delighted by the unexpected twists and turns this cast of characters experiences throughout the book.

u201cThe antics of Emma, Rusty, and the gang are naughty enough to make children (of all ages) laugh out loud. When I read it, the only thing I wanted to change was that my son was still a child, so I could read it to him.u201d
u201cAnnie Wilde has written a wonderfully fresh and imaginative new story that is truly a charming read for children and parents to enjoy together. It will no doubt leave you excited to see how the story continues for Rusty and Emma in the next book!u201d
