Waggit Again (Book 2 ) - Waggit's Tale Trilogy - Author: Peter Howe - Ages 9+


Waggit Again (Book 2)
Summary - Abandoned . . . Again!

Waggit misses the team of dogs who live in Central Park—his real family. He should have listened to them and never trusted the human. Now she's brought him to a faraway place and left him there.

But Waggit is determined to find his way back home and nothing is going to stop him . . . not chains, not cruel enemies, not anything. When Waggit comes face-to-face with a very unusual human and an unlikely ally, he must decide if he can trust his instincts and his heart one more time. The long journey may lead him to the park, but what if it isn't home anymore?

In this sequel to Waggit's Tale, Peter Howe continues the exciting story of a young dog who finds what he needs to survive in the most unexpected places.

Reviews
"...Even though the book has 300 pages, it is an easy read with age appropriate vocabulary. Each chapter is headed up with some finely detailed ink drawings of dogs. A really nice book with some wonderful messages..." - Pudgy Penguin Perusals

"It makes sense to read Waggit’s Tale first, both because of the number of recurring characters, but because of the finely crafted dog customs and idioms Howe has created for his world.   Humans are Uprights, cops are Ruzelas, and squirrels are scurries..." - Elizabeth Willse

"The words used by the dogs to describe human terms, "roller" for car and "rising" for day, for example, give the story a fresh appeal." - Southwest Ohio Libraries
