Hundred Mile-An Hour Dog

Title:Hundred Mile-An-Hour DogAuthor: Jeremy Strong Main Characters: Charlie Smugg, Tony, Streaker.Storyline\Plot: Tony bets Charlie that he can train Streaker over the summer holiday. The bet is based on the fact that Tony can train Streaker, his dog, not to run after everything that she sees . Streaker likes to run after small hairy things because she is a Greyhound and she is used to chasing after the hare. One way Tony tried to train Streaker was to tie a mobile phone around her collar, when Streaker ran away Tony would call her to make her stop. Tony has lots of wacky ideas and inventions to train Streaker all very amusing. The forfeit has something to do with an iron tub and a sticky end. I know who wins, you don't, so read it and you will ,but I will tell you that Charlie cheats. My Opinion Of The Book: I loved this book it made me laugh. It made want to read more of his work. I'd never change the ending because it was so good.Favourite Character and Favourite Part: My favourite character was Streaker, she's fast. My favourite part was the end but I can not tell why because then you'll know.Recommendation: I'd recommend it to anybody over 4 and I give it 10\10
