I JUST
started reading this series after both Amanda and Adelaide recommend this
series. Apparently I was too crazy to realize that this series in an order, but,
come on, it didn’t say a number on any of the sides so how could I know? Anyway
if you don’t know, I am a HUGE dog lover. I want to have over 10 dogs (not to
mention in the house) when I grow up. I know I’m a little weird. And this series is stuff that could happen but is
super funny in really odd ways. I actually DID laugh out loud quite a few
times. Just proves how weird I am. So
anyway to the book review!

About the Main
Characters:
Michelle: This is the girl that tells the
story. She wears her hair up in all different colors of scarves, her room is a
mess, and just wants her best friend back.
Tombo: Michelle’s new
boxer, who is the cutest dog ever. Even though he’s only about a year old, he’s
a WHOLE lot to handle.
Deandre: He is
Michelle’s older brother who is in high school (BTW, Michelle is in 5th).
He knows how to figure things out.
Midori: Midori is a
Japanese girl who is smart enough to have skipped all of elementary school.
Everyone thinks she’s just boy crazy because she always is hanging out with her
twin brother and his friends.
Satoshi: This boy is
Midori’s twin brother who wants the best for his sister. He’s very nice (unlike
most boys I know ;)).
Rosie: Michelle’s ‘best
friend’ who says ‘like’ a lot and is like every 5th grade girl. She
seems to ditch Michelle and just wants to be around Pippa.
Pippa: This girl is very
shy and quiet. She has long blonde hair. And she basically agrees with anything
you say.
Buttons: Rosie’s
adorable little poodle puppy. Who likes to play with any dog.
Mom and Dad: Michelle
and Deandre’s mom and dad who are both psychologists.
What I think About This
Book:
This book (like almost
all the others I do) is FILLED TO THE RIM with fun, humor, and some trouble.
The trouble IS: Tombo. He’s cute, but that doesn’t mean
he’s trouble. He’s chewing EVERYTHING (almost).
Fun: Everything in this
book pretty much is fun.
Humor: EVERYTHING is
funny. I laughed out loud several times ( like, for real ;) )
From The Book:
Plus,
the dog’s whole face radiated how much he wanted to be loved. I was good at
loving things. I was sure I could make him happy.
Behind him in the cage was a strange mess.
Bits of white fluff were scattered from one wall to the other next to the
remains of disemboweled toys. His dog bed looked like it had been nibbled
around the edges. His metal water bowl was upside down in a puddle in the
middle of the floor.
Of course, I didn’t recognize the warning
signs at the time. I didn’t even think about them until later. All I noticed
right then were the dog’s big, hopeful brown eyes.
I would recommend this
book for any dog lover. Or anyone who has chewy trouble with her/his dog. (this
is a good book series for 4th-maybe 8th grade)
Enjoy,
