I read the first book in this series when it was at our Spring Book Fair. This is the second book in the series and it continues the story of JJ, the retired search and rescue dog whose current job is watching over "Moosh" and her flock of chicks. This time JJ has to deal with a possum that is trying to get to the chicks and a mysterious new neighbor.
I love the sarcasm that JJ uses and I think young readers will be laughing out loud at the amusing things he says. For example, one of my favorite lines, "I was across the yard in less time than it takes for a burp to clear the space between my mouth and my nose." I know a lot of boys that will keep reading just to see more lines like that! And the book doesn't disappoint!
This is a fun, new series that will appeal to any reader that enjoys mysteries, animals and funny books.
