A search for a family dog places the Forgers beside a new security crisis. VIZ pairs their pet plans with Twilight's assignment to prevent an attack on a foreign minister. Choose this next if the domestic errands are as much the appeal as the espionage: the premise brings those interests into the same book. It remains a purchase within the established family story, rather than a replacement for the opening volume's introduction to the household.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

The assassination plan turns the family's pet search into an uncomfortable parallel. VIZ says the attackers intend to use trained dogs, while the Forgers are looking for a companion. The same animal can be welcomed into a household or treated as equipment for a political killing. That gives this operation a connection to domestic life beyond coincidental timing. For a reader deciding which part of the series to continue, the attraction is that collision: the family wants to care for an animal while Twilight confronts people exploiting animals' usefulness. The pet errand belongs to the mission's moral problem.
