Marnie has an emerging talent for dog training, and she puts it to good use with her dog, Koda. Koda is a mongrel, so she isn't able to enter dog shows. So Marnie decides to enter a dog dancing competition with Koda instead. But soon Marnie realizes she is more confident in Koda's skills than her own. Will Marnie be able to overcome her insecurities and let loose during the dog dancing competition? Combining exciting sports stories with a dynamic graphic novel format, these fast-paced tales of sportsmanship and teamwork come to life in full-colour graphic novels.
