Shotz, Jennifer Li Hero: Rescue Mission, 180 pages. Harper
Collins Publisher (Harper), 2017. $18. Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content:
PG; Violence: PG.
Hero, the K-9 rescue dog, returns to action. This time his
mission is to save the person who trained him. Ben’s father has been taken
hostage by two escaped convicts. Ben and Hero join forces to find him before
it’s too late. Along the way they make a new friend who helps them track the
trail of the convicts through the forested mountains.
Although part of a series, the book is strong enough to
stand alone. The characters show true feelings as they struggle through a scary
and emotional situation. The book is too scary for the youngest grades but not
scary enough for older grades. It would work for third through seventh grades.
A good book for those who love dogs and those who like stories of friendships
forged in difficult times.
