119 pages. This time Archie and the crew head to a planet of dogs. Now is that a good idea, considering Pockets is a CAT? Interesting encounters and adventures take off as they go in search of a very rare plant. I like the additional information at the end of each book to extend the discussion or reading interest. Highly recommended for Grades 4-5.

This book isn’t that great for young kids and is kind of boring. The plot doesn’t really pick up until page 60 which is weird when the whole book is only like 110 pages long. Maybe it’s a different experience if you read the first three. It was hard to even remember what species each character was.

Silly but Liam loves it.
