Jennings, Patrick Invasion of the Dognappers 208 pgs. EgmontUSA, 2012. $13.47. (Rating: G)
Logan is sure
that all the missing dogs in the neighborhood are being kidnapped by aliens.
They disappear but their collars and leases stay behind. He gathers a team and together
they do research –even using Logan’s own dog as “bait”. After they accused an
immigrant from Greece, they end up adding his son to their team. After Logan’s
accuses another suspect, things don’t go as expected.
I thought this
book was poorly written and cheesy. I was rolling my eyes by the second page. The
characters are not well developed and the dialogue is stilted and awkward. The
cover looks dated and unappealing –which is a big negative in student choice of
books. Parts of the plot are really boring, yet are long and drawn out. I don’t
think students will take much interest in this book.
ELEMENTARY –NOT
RECOMMENDED Reviewer: Stephanie School Librarian & Author.
