Grk and the Pelotti Gang

Grk #2

by Joshua Doder

NATASCHA AND MAX Raffifi, recently orphaned and new to England, are adjusting nicely to their new life. Anything's better than being on the run. Especially being reunited with their little black-and-white dog, Grk, and living with their friend, Tim.

But one afternoon, Natascha sees a familiar name in the newspaper headlines. The infamous Pelotti brothers are on a crime streak in Brazil. This gang of criminal masterminds has only ever been captured once - by her father. To avenge his senseless death, Natascha and Max know they have to act.

Setting off in the middle of the night, the Raffifis, with Tim and Grk at their side, arrive in Rio de Janiero ready for action. But they find more trouble than they bargained for

Loved this book as a child. My mom bought me this and I enjoyed it so much. It's for children yet it has thrills and adventure.

Lo leí para mi sobrino, realmente no sabíamos que era la segunda parte de lo que al parecer era una saga. Sin embargo la opinión de este libro es lo que cuenta, igual fue sencillo seguirlo ya que se acerca mucho a una historia de borrón y cuenta nueva.
Fue entretenido, mucho, me gusto al menos las interacciones de Grk, tal vez hubiera sido mejor si la interacción con los hermanos Raffifi hubiese sido un poco mas notoria. Sin embargo el rápido desarrollo de Zito al meterse mucho con las características sociales y económicas del país, supongo yo para crear simpatía con Zito y eso fue bastante ingenioso. De ahí es una lectura bastante entretenida para niños pequeños, aunque claro me divertí yo también leyéndolo.

A really good and funny chapter book.

Grk and the Pelotti Gang is a super-fun second book in a really wonderful series. Of course, I had a small problem with children just hopping on a plane and flying halfway around the world without the permission of any parents. But other that, I highly enjoyed this new Grk book.

I was a little shocked to find that Max and Natascha were not really in the book very much. Instead, we get to learn all about Zito, who at first I didn't like very much because he kidnapped Tim, but ended up liking as the story progressed. Joshua Doder has created quite a brave, little boy in Timothy Malt and his trusty sidekick, Grk the dog.

I really liked this storyline and found the Pelotti Gang to be quite ruthless. Grk is pretty smart and picks the right time to chomp on the bad guys. That made me laugh each time.

Overall, Grk and the Pelotti Gang is a great story in a series that just keeps getting better. I cannot wait to read the next story with Tim and his little dog in Grk and the Hot Dog Trail. It sounds absolutely delicious.

I rated this book an 8½ out of 10.

In the story Max and Grk bump into the Pelotti's a lot now its just one question would they stop the Pelotti's or die?
