Caitlin and her brother, Dylan, and her bearded dragon, Peaches, get ready to set sail on their second cruise as crew kids. But problems arise when it's discovered that a group of dog owners and a group of cat owners have both been booked on the same cruise. Caitlin and Dylan and their friends want to help but the adults keep pushing them aside. Will they be able to find a way to smooth things over or is the cruise doomed to keeping the cats, dogs, and their owners apart? Raining Cats and Dogs presents readers with a light, fun story with plenty of entertaining characters, both human and animal. The book also shows just how challenging the service industry can be, especially when animals are involved. Young readers who enjoy stories of traveling and animals are likely to enjoy this humorous adventure. Recommended.
