- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5On a so called protest against animal testing for various products, Robyn Hunter ends up in jail. Her mom, the attorney, gets her released with the promise she will do volunteer work at a local animal shelter. Of course, this arrangement is better than jail except Robyn has a phobia of dogs. Especially since she was attacked by a German shepherd when she was eight years old. The good thing out of all of this is her obsession, or fear of dogs, has resulted in her knowing lots of facts about them. Upon her arrival at the animal shelter Robyn has an expected encounter with a large dog. But to her surprise she is saved from a potential attack by the dogs trainer. Nick D'Angelo, the trainer, is a familiar face from Robyn's past. Hopeful he doesn't recognize her, Robyn shakes off her fear and resumes her mission to work at the shelter and do her time as a member of the fund raising committee. Robyn is not alone in her mandatory volunteering, the boys from RAD (Rehabilitate A Dog) are here too. Most of them are here instead of participating in a court mandated anger management counseling session. Her past with Nick isn't a good one. He had gotten into some trouble and Robyn had been the one who turned him in. She is learning, with her lunch time conversations with Nick, that perhaps he has changed and is working towards the good. He really loves working with the dogs and he is good at it. Although he still seems to have some issues with anger, he seems to be happy working with the dogs. His goal is to someday be able to adopt Orion, the bad dog from Robyn's first encounter at the shelter. Robyn's new image of Nick soon becomes shaded with doubts when she learns that he has been implicated in a hit and run incident while driving a stolen car. Robyn decides to find out more about the sudden change in Nick and make an effort to help him out of a very bad situation. McClintock has created a story full of emotional twists and turns. Readers quickly become engaged with the characters and the paths they choose to follow along with the constant element of danger. Readers who are animal lovers will find this story interesting and touching. McClintock teaches readers that everyone deserves a second chance and that enemies can become friends. It is recommended that children older than 10 years should read this book with the permission of their parents.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was pretty good, though the ending was so predictable, and it takes more than half the book to actually get into the story. It wasn't like anything I'd expected. I thought it was going to be like a Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys book. All action packed and fighting and all that. But nope. This book was really settle. It's more brains than muscles compared to the Nancy Drew and Hardy boys. I really enjoyed this book.
