    For fans of The Secret Life of Pets, this second book of a hilarious chapter book duology follows the Russell Bros. on another rip-roaring, super-secret spy adventure.

    When Molly Miller loses her favorite hat at the Big City Museum, the Russell brothers leap into action to retrieve it and save the day! With lots of blueprints, maps, and a unique blend of photos and colorful illustrations, this story will take young readers on an unforgettable journey as they discover whether Jack Russell, Big Russell, Just Russell, and Little Russell will be able to extract that hat.
    Jack R. Miller lives in a super-secret location with his three brothers and their most favorite human family ever: The Millers! Jack enjoys journaling, planning, digging in the backyard, snuggling, and taking long, long walks. You can find more of Jack’s books at your local library, online, or in Little Russell’s sidecar (but don’t let him catch you!)—or at a bookstore near you.

    Mike Yamada (he/him) is an art director, illustrator, and visual developer. He has spoken at numerous colleges and has visual development credits on various films, including Monsters vs. Aliens, Big Hero 6, and Wreck It Ralph 2.
