This sounds like a very interesting story. I find dog fighting appalling. I am sure children will too.

What an exciting plot. This book should be popular because lots of animal lovers will care about the plot.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why but whenever I read 'goes missing' I have a desire to buy the book to see what happens.
ReplyDeleteAnimal lovers will love this book by the sounds of it.

I for one want to read this book, if my boss Joy will read it to me. I want to see what happens to those brave kids trying to help the animals.
ReplyDeleteZebee, sshhh! don't tell Joy!
Looks like an interesting book especially in light of the Michael Vick conviction on illegal dog fighting - what a terrible sport! glad someone is shining a light on this!
