Reviews

[Green Jazz Blues]

The second book featuring the rather Irish madcap self proclaimed detective, Rory Branagan and his fearless sidekick, Cassidy.
This book was probably better than the last one due to the emotional content especially with dogs. The storyline again was good though wacky but again the drawings are awful! I'm sure a ten year old could draw better than that! Hence, again, why I can only give this one a score of 3 stars.

[Rosemary Murphy]

I had this book pre ordered after I finished the first one.
In this book Rory Brangan and his sidekick cat Cassidy take on a dog snatching menace.
This book is even better than the first one with many exiting plot twists and amazing adventures. I can't wait for the next one.

Rory de Raaf en zijn trouwe handlanger Kato de Kat gaan opnieuw in actie!

Dit keer gaat het om een onbekende, brutale honden dief die had die brutaliteit om Willy Willems de detective hond van Rory te stelen en dat had tie niet moeten doen.

Deze tweede deel vond ik tot nu toe het beste van de reeks. Best veel actie en heel veel honden.

[Sheonski Peonski]

The book was amazing! I felt as if I was there with Rory, and all the action happened there right in front of my eyes. All the problems added up, and in the end, told us who was the criminal. It was such a page-turner, and I would love to read more books in the series.

Great for struggling or reluctant readers, funny and exciting, it's well worth a read!

[Joey Kim]

I like that there is a dog that thinks it's a detective.

[Tim Robinson]

This series is very funny and has lots of heart.

[Maggie]

Read it in one sitting. My class are obsessed with the first one and I'm excited to add this to the book corner!

We love this book. I enjoy the literary references, and I think there's a nod to "A Prayer for Owen Meany" in the plot.
