Student Book Review: How to look for a lost dog






Title: How to look for a lost dog.
Author: Ann M Martin who has also written the ‘Babysitters Club’ series which sold 170 million copies worldwide.
Genre: Fiction but could be based on a true story.
Setting: Set in Hatford, America.


Tell about the book but don’t give away the ending:


The book is about a girl called Rose and trying to find her best dog Rain after the superstorm Susan. Rose is about 8 and she has tantrums all the time. She has a dog called Rain who Rose has a big connection to. Rose’s dad Wesley Howard let Rain outside in the superstorm without her collar to go for a wee and Rain never came back.


Tell about your favourite part of the book or make a connection: 


My favourite part was when Rain jumps out of Rose’s uncles car and follows Rose into class, but Rose did not realise and everyone in Rose’s class meets Rain.


Give a recommendation:


I recommend this book ‘How to look for a lost dog” a 4.5 star rating. I love this book because it has good characters and the characters have good personalities. I think this book would suit kids aged around 10-12 years. If you like good adventure books and if you are a good reader you will love this book.
