THE JUNKYARD DOG

by: ERIKA TAMAR This is an adventure book. This book takes places in many places like the junkyard, school, and the aparment. There is a junkyard dog starving to death and treated badly. katie is going to save it's life by feeding it and sheltering it,but she has to ask the man how owns the dog if she can feed him. The main characters are Katie , Lucky, the junkyard dog, Jim, the father. Katie does nut like him because he is to strict to her and her mother. Mary Ann is Katie's mom. Jim works two jods one as a carpenter and the other is the watch man he watches at night. Mary Ann (Katie's mom) is always thinking about Katie getting hurt or somthing. Katie is a girl that is not afraid to speak up, at least sometimes. Lucky is very thankfulto have Katie to take care of him. I think this book teaches you some lessons about taking care of yourself. Jim is strict about things like buying food for the dog, your own money, and other things. It teaches you some lessons about taking care of your dogs. Heres one: Jim was checking Lucky to see if he was ok after he was done. Katie fed lucky some food and then Katie says she can ask if her mom can buy dog food but jim says she needs to buy her own dog food from her own money. It's not her mother's problem. it's katie's I like this book because it is about a dog that is not healthy and when Katie comes along and feeds him he gets bettter and better.

Really Good Book!

This is a great book! Lots of Mystery and action! A girl named Katie comes across a junkyard and sees a tragic dog. She feeds it and wants it so badly! I would reccomend this great book for young readers. It has tons of suspence and once you read it, you can't stop! All you readers out there reading this review should try it! When I started reading it, I just couldn't stop! This is a must buy and must read!

It is a sweet story about a dog and a girl

A girl is walking home one day and see's a group of teenagers throwing rocks at a not well-fed defensless junkyard dog. From then on it becomes a sweet story all animal lovers would love. I recommend this to all animal lovers!
