Recommended to kids ages 10-12. At the beginning of this book the (awesome) author assures you that no dogs will die in this book, and tells you that she hates when dogs die in books. I completely agree with her, so I got off to a good start! In this oh-so-funny adventurous tale, Homer W. Pudding's treasure hunting uncle has just died, and left him with four things: 1. The love of treasure hunting
2. A droopy old Basset Hound with no sense of smell
3. A gold coin with the letters L.O.S.T. engraved into it, attached to the dog's collar
4. A note telling him that he was leaving him with his most valued possession
N0t much to go on, huh? Homer doesn't understand what his uncle meant. The gold coin has to tie in somewhere, but what about the letters L.O.S.T.? Lost isn't the most ordinary name for a dog, dogs nametags aren't usually made out of gold, and why would the letters be separated with periods??? Plus, what's with the dog who can't smell anything? Homer has got his hands full, but the question is, is he up for the challenge? I love, love, LOVE this book!!! Suzanne Selfors is one of those authors that can get you so wrapped up in a book that you are unable to put it down. She invents such realistic characters that it is crazy! A great adventure that both boys and girls will love!
