Storm Dog

Scout #3

by Jennifer Li Shotz

The adventure continues in the third installment of the action-packed Scout series, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Li Shotz.

Scout, a National Guard dog, was born to be a hero. When Scout and his 12-year-old owner, Matt, land in Puerto Rico after a devastating hurricane, they want to help. The pair befriend Luisa, who knows all about the Sato dogs—abandoned pups who need food and shelter.

Scout and Matt decide to foster an injured dog named Pepita. But Pepita is clearly searching for something and runs off into the rainforest. Now it’s up to Scout, Matt and Luisa to find the missing dog and bring her back safely.

Surviving the dangers of the wilderness will be far from easy, but Scout and Matt make an excellent team.

This fast-moving tale of Scout the hero dog will grab even reluctant readers and is perfect for fans of Cracker!, Max, and Hero.

Although I didn't realize this story was a Young Adult (or even tween) book when I borrowed it, I did find I liked it. The author did not write "down" to her audience and the situations were real enough and handled with alacrity by the young participants. I would definitely recommend for young readers and even possibly for those more sophisticated readers looking for something very light but well-executed.
