Merlin Raj and the Santa
Algorithm
by D. G. Priya
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Early Reader
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
My
name is Merlin Raj. Usually, I only have to worry about being the best service
dog. I help my boy, Matthew, walk at school. But when my human Mom has to go
away for winter break, getting ready for the holiday becomes a mess. I might be
a super-smart golden retriever who wears glasses, but could I help my best
friend with more than a disability?
Gulp.
Will a class on algorithms
get me barking up the right Christmas tree?
Merlin
Raj, The Santa Algorithm is the first installment in the Merlin Raj, Computer
Science Service Dog chapter-book series. With a Computer Science degree and a
passion for preparing kids for the future, author D. G. Priya blends technology
with animal stories to stimulate a desire to read. Each book in the series
introduces a new programming skill, complete with study guides for educators.
If you or your child like delightful dog tales, practical examples, and accessible
learning tools, then you’ll love D. G. Priya’s tail-wagging adventure.

EXCERPT ONE:
First
snow brushed the ground with white. I loved winter. My fur kept me nice and
warm on most days. For freezing cold days, my human mother, Mom Raj, had bought
me a bright, thermal rain slicker. It was sky blue with a service-animal label.
Blue
best matched my golden fur, which I liked to keep well brushed at all times.
Even
my glasses were on a stylish athletic band, and they matched Matthew’s glasses.
My nose twitched from the cold.
