Dogs of the Drowned City #2

by Dayna Lorentz

Shep the German shepherd doesn't know why his family has left him alone, nor does he understand the terrible, shrieking storm that has torn apart his city. He just knows that the new dogs he's met are his best chance at survival -- especially now that they've made enemies of the wild dogs in the city. Can Shep keep his new friends safe until his family -- maybe -- returns?

I like reading YA stories. They are quick reads, don't require a lot of thought, and usually are a great way for me to unwind before sleeping.

I just finished the Dogs of the Drowned City series by Dayna Lorentz. I've been a vet tech; dogs are my favorite animal and I really liked this series. I feel Lorentz got the dog personalities right, her events seem realistic, and I like the underlying themes she explores. I'd definitely recommend this series for YA readers.

The first time I read this as a 12 year old, I somehow failed to notice all the delicious political intrigue.

i think this book is good for people who like to read about dogs and survival because they all have to rely on one another to help out each other because if they didn't help one another they would start fighting and not being able to help each other and others in need like dogs who are in buildings who can't get out of the building they are trapped inside. they also need help finding food for one another because they are running out of food before they can do this they also need water for energy during the helping because if can cause another dog to die or suffer from dehydration due to having no water in the building when they need the water to survive because without food and water they would probably die.

Gritty, but still a good read. I dont think these books are aimed at children, there are a number of horrific deaths and violent scenes. I always think this makes animal literature more realistic and appealing. The world is naturally cruel, and animals often suffer in these situations. I really enjoyed this bridging novel, the second in the trilogy. There was plenty of action and excitement. This series is good for Erin Hunter fans,or better yet gritty animal literature such as Watership Down or The Animals of Farthing Wood. Highly recommended.

I read this book with my son for school. It reminded me a lot of Animal Farm but in modern day. It was funny, sad, and a great learning lesson for my son. If you have a 3rd - 5th grader, I think this book is a good one
