Will I love Secondhand Dogs?

This delightful story is perfect for dog lovers! With a relatable cast of characters—from anxious Gus to enthusiastic Moon Pie—and a high-stakes adventure that will keep readers glued to the page. I loved the pack dynamics and Gus reminded me so much of myself. I know kids will absolutely love it.

Who knew that some dogs could be so obsessed with power? Carolyn Crimi that’s who! She has created a super fun and engaging cast of dog characters with complicated motives and relationships. Dare I say it? It’s heartwarming, and I am not so jaded that I can’t be cheered up by heartwarming dogs. Spoiler: The dogs survive, but not all the people. Still, loss and grief are dealt with in age-appropriate ways.
