Chez Stinky by Susan C. Daffron
I wouldn't say it's a comedy but I really liked the main character Kat. She was brave and smart. And the animals were so cute.
But there were a few mistakes in the flow of the story and the ending was just so sudden. The story got so interesting and I wanted to know what happens next with Joel and Kat (their business, family secrets and so on). There are more books in the series but if I'm not mistaken book two has another couple as main characters. So, are Kat and Joel in their story as well? If so, I'm ready to continue with the series. If not, then it's goodbye, Alpine Grove.
