What a fun book for dog lovers! What a fun book for everyone! Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko have teamed up for this funny, courageous, and heart-warming story. Designed as an illustrated novel with illustrations by Wallace West, DOGTOWN is sure to be in demand in libraries and classrooms everywhere.

When you put together a three-legged dog, a mechanical dog, and a brave mouse, you get an incredible journey like story that will melt your heart. 

All the dogs at Dogtown have tragic stories. Chance was unlucky enough to have a horrible dog-sitter whose boyfriend ditched Chance letting the dog's owners think she ran off. Metal Head, the mechanical dog, seems aloof and unfriendly, but inside he misses his young owner and can't understand why he ended up in Dogtown. Mouse and his brothers and sisters live hidden in Dogtown and rely on the kindly Chance for the kibble that keeps them alive.

These three are the heroes of Dogtown. Readers will love their madcap adventures and cheer when they escape on the search for their real homes. They are clever beyond belief and willing to stand in the path of danger to achieve their goals. Hurry out to your local bookstore or library to get your copy today!
