Soldier Dog by Sam Angus review

 
Synopsis
He’ll always be true, faithful and brave, even to the last beat of his heart.
It’s 1917. In the trenches of France, miles from home, Stanley is a boy fighting a man’s war. He is a dog handler, whose dog must be so loyal that he will cross no-man’s-land alone under heavy fire to return to Stanley’s side, carrying a message that could save countless lives. But this journey is fraught with danger, and only the bravest will survive.

As the fighting escalates and Stanley experiences the true horror of war, he comes to realize that the loyalty of his dog is the only thing he can rely on.


This book is about Stanley in the first world war.  He loves dogs. He lies about his age to get into a army. This was a ok book. I liked it but it wouldn't be a book i be rushing to any time soon.

3/5

This week I'm reading Soldier Dog by Sam Angus







Bones would do the work he knew so well, Stanley was certain of that. The dog would run home from anywhere, from any point of the compass.

Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver review

    
Six thousand years ago. Evil stalks the land. Only twelve-year-old Torak and his wolf-cub companion can defeat it. Their journey together takes them through deep forests, across giant glaciers, and into dangers they never imagined.

This book is about Torak bonding with people and animals. At first Renn, the main female character, seems like a villain but over the course of the book she is like a hero even if she doesn't want to believe it herself.  
It certainly has lots of adventure and thrills. At times I thought I knew what was going to happen and then there's a plot twist. 
One issue I did have is there were lots of spelling and grammar mistakes.  They probably need to get themselves a better proofreader.
All in all a good book and I want to read the sequel.
4/5
