Book Review

When dogs go missing, one boy will find out why. 
And the answer is out of this world.
 
Nothing gets past Logan. When he observes that the neighborhood’s dogs are mysteriously vanishing, he suspects nothing less than a full-scale alien dognapping invasion. The adults don’t believe him, of course, so he enlists his friends to investigate and soon they make a shocking discovery.
 
Now man’s best friend needs help. Fast. Suddenly, Logan and his team are on a mission unlike anything known to man. 
 
A hilarious, heartwarming tale of hound-saving heroics, Invasion of the Dognappers will be gobbled up by middle-grade readers.

Chicago Public Library "Best of the Best" Book

“Jennings once again demonstrates his versatility with this novel for baseball fans and for those who are more comfortable in the stands than on the playing field....Fans often say that baseball is a metaphor for life; Jennings here proves the adage’s truth.” —Publishers Weekly

“Jennings refreshes [the genre] by cleverly confining the action within a single game and allowing readers to suffer—and ultimately grow—along with Ty in his near real-time experience.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“The book is funny, poignant, and deeper than one might think at first glance. Its deceptively uncomplicated plot makes it a great choice for reluctant readers.” —School Library Journal

“Jennings has crafted an unusual father-son story that goes far beyond the typical baseball novel. Humorous and insightful.” – Kirkus Reviews
