Chocolate Lab #2
Tug-of-War (The Chocolate Lab #2)
One candy-crazed Labrador plus one feisty puppy equals double the trouble!
When Mason and Hannah find a tiny yellow Labrador named Nilla out by the old mill, Hannah is dying to keep her. But Mason isn't sure that's a good idea. Not when they are busy trying to turn the mill into a chocolate factory to save the family's business. Plus the Cabots already have a dog, and Cocoa's wild ways are always stirring up trouble. Adding an untrained, rowdy puppy to the mix might just be a recipe for disaster!

“I give it five stars because it was so impressive that Cocoa and Nilla turned the water wheel in the last chapter.”

I chose to read this book because I'm curious towards all books with dogs on the cover. I have a pet dog and I personally love them all. This book takes place mainly in an old mill that is in the progress of turning into a chocolate mill. The main character of this book is named Mason. Mason values friendship, family, and Cocoa ( their puppy ). Mason is very smart and played a key role in the construction of the mill. The conflict of the story is that they don't think they will have the mill done in time for the grand opening. One of the wheels was rotten and couldn't be used. They needed to find a way to make a new one with in their time and money restraints. Another conflict is that Mason and Hannah found a puppy in the weeds, and their family decided to foster it. That's not the problem, the problem is that they were starting to get too attached and didn't want to let Nilla go. I really enjoyed this book because it had many ups and down, and it made my adrenaline kick in. It also had me on the edge of my seat. I don't know many people I would recommend this to, but I think my neighbor would really enjoy this book. She loves dogs just as much as me and it fits her reading level.

{My thoughts} – In the last book Cocoa had discovered a small yellow lab puppy that was stranded on the side of the highway. Nilla is a sweet little puppy that as soon as Mason and Hannah had seen her, they’d fallen in love. The only problem is that they weren’t entirely sure how to tell their parents that they’d found her and really wanted to keep her.
This book also picks up with the family repairing the old mill on their property. They are hoping to have it repaired quickly enough to help them with their new direction in which they are taking their chocolate making business.
Mason finds an unlikely friendship with a boy that has been making friendship difficult. It turns out though, that there is a really neat story behind why that has been taking place.
Towards the end of the book Hannah has to say good bye to Nilla and she isn’t ready to let her go. However, she does understand that it’s what is right for Nilla. Mason also starts to understand that just because your use to one thing, doesn’t mean you can’t get use to something a little more different, but better in the long run.
I strongly believe that any child that enjoys and loves dogs, will enjoy this book and the previous. I look forward to beginning book three in the next few minutes!

103 pages. Great continuing story of Mason and Hannah’s family who decide to take an old mill and turn it into a chocolate factory. There are lots of challenges and problems along the way, and they need to learn the difference. They also meet a new puppy along the way. Lots of fun! Kids will like this story. Highly recommended for Grades 3-5.
