My Sparkling Suzie is an adventurous, humorous, exciting and poetic narrative of an abandoned American dog, Suzie, in Nigeria. No one wanted the burden of caring for the over-pampered dog, except the Alfreds at Abraka Community in the heart of the Niger Delta, where the evergreen and charming River Ethiope flows. Suzie did not only touch the hearts of her adopted family but the entire community, with series of captivating events that saw her rise beyond expectations. As the days rolled by, Suzie became a great dog in a small and big ways...assuming several societal roles. First, she was religious and scholarly; and from a companion dog, she became a security expert and a shepherd...bringing home fame and prizes to her foster family, with many more adventures. My Sparkling Suzie is written in a simple style and diction, with songs and poems, vividly describing places, peoples, climes, festivals and life events; a literary escape for everyone, especially the teens and young adults.
