lbandoch's review against another edition
3.0
I can see this having a big appeal to children. Who doesn’t love a dog protagonist? Lily is a rescue dog who helps other dogs - that’s a fun premise for a series. I can’t get past the feeling that this book is nice - but nothing felt exceptional. I think that I would have liked a bit more depth to learning about Amur leopards in the text, rather than waiting for the section at the end. I also think it was odd to name another leopard Hari Kari in a children’s chapter book. It just seemed out of place and poor taste. But I thought the plots with Jax and Nala were wrapped up nicely! It kept me wondering how they would come together and the ending was satisfying.
