D-39: A Robodog's Journey by Irene Latham
4.0
This was a really interesting read. I'm going to be honest, I only picked it because of the dog but this book was so much more than I thought it would be!
The language in this book took some getting used to but once you do its really interesting. The wording is similar to what we all use everyday but just a little bit off. It feels very much like something a child growing up in a post-apocalyptic world would create.
Speaking of the setting of this book is great! The whole post-apocalyptic vibe is amazing especially set against the farming community the MC finds herself in. While we still get an idea of the bigger picture of things from what is mentioned in the media. It as a truly masterful setup.
My only real concern about this book is the formatting. I'm not exactly sure why it formatted the way it is. It doesn't really add to the story in any meaningful way. In this point it just felt like the author was trying to do something unique and eye catching but it wasn't needed.
This was a really interesting book with a lot more than I was expecting. This book deals with some hard subjects but it does so in a unique way that really adds to the story. This is definitely something I will be recommending to my customers. This is one of those rare middle grade books that seems to transcend age and gender. I am definitely excited to get to talk up and hype this read.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the early review copy.
