Will an imaginative boy, his know-it-all cousin, and a pack of talking dogs save their romantic neighborhood from unwelcome change? Jacob lives in the city and dreams of becoming an architect like his busy dad. He spends a lot of time drawing buildings and daydreaming while his father is at work. When he has to spend a whole week with his bossy cousin and her father in one of Riga’s historical suburbs, he discovers that the local park is about to be transformed into new skyscrapers by a greedy businessman. The two decide to stop the development with the help of a pack of local dogs that…can talk! Based on the book Dog Town by Luize Pastore. Age 5+
