The Uninvited Visitors

Back on mysterious Bald Head Island, North Carolina, a teenage girl and eleven-year-old boy are in trouble, and Chihuahua detectives Starfoot and Brown are on the case.

Isabel is a gifted, fifteen-year-old saxophone player, whose scientist father is in danger on the other side of the world. He texts Isabel a frightening message that sends her into hiding on Bald Head Island.

Jordy is a boy unlike other boys. On a school trip to the island, he follows his curiosity into the woods and finds himself separated from the rest of his class.

Fate comes to fruition when Isabel and Jordy meet and instantly strike up a friendship. But Starfoot and Brown smell danger in the air, and it's blowing straight toward these two talented young people. The detectives must use every bit of their cunning and creativity to help their new friends find safety.

What follows is a frolicking adventure of mystery, friendship, and growing up, decorated with plenty of laughs to make the journey truly enjoyable.

Author Rhoda Canter's follow-up to The Adventures of Starfoot and Brown is a touching, and harrowing, tale of fear of the unknown, coming-of-age, and the desire for a fresh start at life.

After a career in the consulting world, Rhoda Canter decided to return to her love of writing stories. Her first release, The Adventures of Starfoot and Brown introduced the loveable, Chihuahua detective duo to the world of literature.

Since then, true stories of musically gifted children on the autistic spectrum have inspired her to return to the colorful world of her Starfoot and Brown series. This second installment, The Uninvited Visitors, takes the reader back to Bald Head Island, where Canter explores the concept of Starfoot and Brown interacting with two human children, trying to find their way through a rough patch in their lives.

Canter graduated from Wellesley College with a BA in English and then earned an MS in accounting from Georgetown University. She went on to become a CPA, and a partner in management consulting, at several firms, including Arthur Young and Grant Thornton.
