Review

This is the second book about Hero, a black Labrador Retriever. Three boys and two dogs are at the heart of this riveting novel. Ben, Noah, and Hero go out in the midst of a hurricane in Florida to find their classmate, Jack, and his puppy. This fast paced story is well written. There are many near misses which will keep middle grade readers on the edge of their seats. I recommend this short novel for readers looking for a story with adventure involving close friends, dogs, families, and battling the forces of nature together.

Overall Book Score: very good
