Miami Beach Tails

Grab your sunglasses, hold onto your flip-flops, and get ready for a beach adventure like no other!

From the autumn winds of Shropshire to the sizzling shores of South Beach, Miami — Mollie and Tobie: South Beach Tails is a pawsitively hilarious and heartwarming story for readers aged 6 to 12 (and all the grown-ups who secretly love a good sausage joke).

When Tobie starts daydreaming of palm trees and Cuban sausages, Mollie knows it’s time for another unforgettable trip. Alongside Karl, Lady H, and the ever-updated AutoDog 3.3, they jet off in their Electric Private Jet to the iconic W Hotel South Beach, where concierge Hugo has eight action-packed days ready and waiting.

Each chapter is a new sun-drenched adventure:

  • Salsa dancing in Little Havana
  • Gator-spotting in the Everglades
  • Painting mayhem at Wynwood Walls
  • Learning to surf (and survive Tobie’s wipeouts)
  • Luxury yacht cruising with dolphins and disco beats
  • A farewell fiesta that raises the woof

Mollie brings the grace. Tobie brings the chaos. Together, they charm every human, hound, and heron from Ocean Drive to Biscayne Bay.

This laugh-out-loud book is the pawfect holiday gift or hotel companion — whether you’re lounging poolside in Miami or dreaming of sunshine from your sofa. Full of cultural flavour, fluffy fun, and inspiring messages about friendship, resilience, and trying new things (even when you fall off the surfboard), this is more than a travel tale — it’s a tail of self-discovery.

Written by Karl Hartey and inspired by two real-life Newfipoos, this adventure is part of the internationally loved Mollie and Tobie series.
