Madison Morgan: When Dogs Blog (Vol. 1)

Dog Lovers Delight
Madison Morgan is unhappy. She doesn't understand boys and fashion, nor does she understand her friend Paige's interest in those things. What she really wants is a dog, but Dad says no. On top of all this, the school bully picks on her and her friend Cooper constantly. Cooper has a dangerous secret too, and her step-dad manages everything just a bit too much. The tale about how all this gets resolved is an interesting mystery that puts many dogs at risk. Though the pace of the book was a bit slow for my tastes, I would not say it was boring and I still found it a good read. I like how the main character, Madison, expresses her thoughts to the reader. The well-rounded characters had interesting quirks and personalities that brighten the whole story. I would recommend this book to others from ages twelve plus for its winding plot. Note: Parents should know that the story contains an occasional mild swear word.
