Cheerful football fan Fredericka (“Freddie” for short), her rescue dog Fumble, and their friend Mary are traveling to Charlotte to cheer the Panthers on. Mary loves sightseeing as much as they do, and shows them highlights of the Carolinas along the way. They have a picnic at Myrtle Beach, tour the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences’ dinosaur exhibit, enjoy the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, and stop to thank service members at Fort Bragwg, before ending up in the Queen City.

The book was written by Mooresville’s Marnie Schneider and her teenage daughter, Goldie Grace. A portion of book sales proceeds will go to USOs in North and South Carolina and local animal shelters.
