McTavish Goes Wild is written by Meg Rosoff and illustrated by Grace Easton.  This book was published in 2018.  This book is meant for children who are transitioning from picture books into chapter books.  It would be great for students who are in first through fourth grade.  There are pictures scattered throughout the book that illustrate the text.  This story is about a dog named McTavish and his adventure with his rescue family as they go on a family adventure.  There are many different views of camping from many different people in the family.  McTavish has his own plan on how he is going to help his family.  McTavish thinks he is on a mission to rescue the family that adopted him from the pound, while the family believes they rescued him.  This book would be great to use as a choice book in the classroom during silent reading time.  It is a solid story line and the plot is easily followed.    <lighthearted> <adventurous> <early chapter book>
