About the author, Allie Davis
Allie Davis is passionate about helping kids and adults love to read, engage with nature, get outside together, and look up instead of looking down at our devices all the time. She published her first book, Clara and the Constellations, in August 2023 and her newest in the series in June 2024. A native of Abilene, Texas, Allie graduated from Baylor University with a degree in journalism then moved to the Nashville area to marry her true love, Eric. They continue to reside a little bit outside of Nashville with their two daughters. When she’s not writing or reading, Allie can usually be found soaking up sunshine with family or friends, carting her kids to all the places, traveling, singing, or walking the family’s dogs, Ruby and Tucker.
Ralph & Murray
In a quaint Southern town, circa 1959, an extraordinary tale unfolds through the charming narration of an unlikely storyteller: Ralph, a spirited four-legged companion with a knack for punchy humor.
Amid a world where most dogs merely wag their tails and feline neighbors purr quietly, Ralph and his witty counterpart, Murray, emerge as remarkable exceptions, gifted with extraordinary abilities.
As they traverse the idyllic landscapes of their hometown, encountering ghosts, hobos, and even the iconic twist dance craze spearheaded by Chubby Checker himself, Ralph and Murray’s adventures take on a whimsical, yet deeply resonant quality.
