Salisbury has done it again

I really like this book because it has a lot of adventure in it. It starts out with this kid that has no name so the people just call him boy. His brother's name is Damon. Boy hangs around Damon all the time. They go on a lot of adventures together. The adventures they go on usually means trouble. Their dad delivers newspapers. Boy went with his dad one time to deliver them. They come up to this long road that is surrounded by Trees. Boy didn't want to go back there because he was afraid that the jungle dogs might attack him. His mom and dad never believed him. I would really recommend this book to anyone.

Jungle Dogs

Jungle Dogs is a really good book. It is about this kid whose nickname is boy, his brother Damien is in a gang that watch's for his brother. His best friend Zeke is always getting picked on by Moose and Gabriel. Gabriel's older brother named Crow Boy watches out for his brother to. So Crow Boy and Damien, were enemies. They were going to fight Boy and Gabriel teamed up and made a plan so they won't fight. That's my favorite part. Also Boy is a delivery boy. He starts off on a dirt road he is scared of jungle dogs, this is one of Damien's friends that told him that there were jungle dogs in the woods. I recommend this book to every one; if we had to grade this book 1-5,I would give it a 5.

Jngle Dogs Review

Jungle Dogs was pretty good. it was intense at parts. the part were the main charecter named boy regis kept getting punched in the face by his brothers arch enmy.The book is about a kid whos name is boy. he and his brother are always fighting because his brother is always fighting for him and standing up for him. and his brother almost gets killed for standing up for him. boys teacher asks him to write a paper on who he looks up to and the paper shocks his friends and teacher.

Another charmer from Salisbury

I've now read three Salisbury books, and they were all marvelous. I'll be a fan of his for a long time. "Jungle Dogs," like his award-winning "Under the Blood-Red Sun" and his acclaimed debut, "Blue Skin of the Sea," takes place in Hawaii and focuses on a boy's conflicts while growing up. Like those other two works -- "Blue Skin," incidentally, is a real delight -- "Dogs" is beautifully written, with a potent sense of time and place and a wide range of human emotions and experience. It also has uncannily authentic dialog and several moments of hit-me-in-the-gut poignancy. I strongly recommend ANY Salisbury work; I can't wait to get my hands on his latest, "Shark Bait."
