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.

“A carefully crafted and engagingly offbeat depiction of a prickly, affectionate pair delicately negotiating a family truce. The lively dialogue would make this an especially good read-aloud.” —The Horn Book

“The deepest pleasures of this text are the original and somehow believably self-reflective animal characters, accurate zoological details imparted by a narrator who cares deeply about the natural world—and who believes in the abilities and intelligence of children – and an engaging child character firmly anchored in reality who, like the reader, gets lost for a time in the storyteller’s tale.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“Jennings’s folksy, first-person narrative immediately draws the reader into the easy, comfortable relationship between Cora and her uncle Frank… the characters, both feathered and human, are strikingly fresh.” —Booklist
