Summary
Phooey Kerflooey has finally found a home of her own.
Too bad a raging squirrel found it first!
Rasputin the squirrel spends his time stealing snacks, pooing on the counters, and biting tender noses. Phooey’s perfect home has become a perfect storm of chaos!
Phooey will do anything for her boys. Almost step on the shiny floor. Mostly go potty outside. Bite a baby carrot in half. Maybe two carrots, or even three!
The boys want Phooey to chase Rasputin and save the day, but it’s hard when so many scary things stand in her way. If only Phooey had her pink dolly to boost her bravery.
Can Phooey find her courage and chase that bad squirrel out of their lives forever?
Maybe tomorrow.
Or the day after that.
For sure by next week.
Phooey will be very brave . . . someday.
Theme verse: Isaiah 32:18–My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.

My Kid Review
Kristen Wilks seems to understand kid humor. Phooey Kerflooey vs. The Battle Squirrel is full of funny antics that children will enjoy. The story also incorporates Isaiah 32:18 – having a peaceful home with undisturbed places.
Connor is a dare devil who is wheelchair bound. Marcus is his older brother who tries to keep Conner safe. Phooey Kerflooey is their Newfoundland puppy who thinks she is a princess. Together the three battle a squirrel who has decided to take up residence in their home while Mom and Dad are gone and Aunt Stella is taking care of them.
The book is well-written and elementary children will enjoy the humor. Each chapter ends with a page and prompt for readers to draw pictures about the chapter. This feature might be a drawback for libraries.
Phooey Kerflooey vs The Battle Squirrel would be a fun addition to the elementary fiction section of a K-12 Christian school library. It is appropriate for middle to upper elementary students.
I received a complimentary copy of Phooey Kerflooey vs The Battle Squirrel. This is my honest review.
