If you haven’t heard of the Jonas Brothers, then you’ve been on a dessert island with your head in the sand for quite some time.
These brothers are wildly popular through the boy band’s appearances playing music and acting in such Disney Channel programs like Camp Rock. They even hung out with Miley Cyrus on Hanna Montana. Frankie – known as the bonus Jonas – has also gained a profile appearing with his brothers.
The title character in the “Walter” books is a fat dog with severe flatulence. The brothers play musicians whose parents are asked to care for the dog by an aunt just before she passes away, reports Variety.
While his brothers play music, Frankie and the gaseous hound get involved in a plot that involves liberating a koi fish and thwarting jewel thieves.
And, of course, Fox predicts franchise
