This was super cute! Not earth-shattering, not grown-ups will want to read it just for its own sake wonderful, but still, it was totally sweet. There's a treasure hunt, strong, smart characters of both genders and a lovable Bassett Hound. Kids that want adventure with plenty of excitement but no actual horrible outcomes will really enjoy this one. Due to it's lack of objectionable content and commitment to nothing terrible happening (the foreword promises us that the dog will live) it will make a great pick for readers who are reading above their grade level. This is the second in the trilogy about Homer Pudding and his dog, Dog, and their treasure hunting adventures. Homer receives a note letting him know that it is time - he is to come to a meeting of L.O.S.T. (the Society of Legends, Objects, Secrets, and Treasures) and become a member and true treasure hunter. But there is an unexpected opponent to challenge his spot in the society. So begins a dangerous quest to find a treasure, the one finding it will be given membership in L.O.S.T.This is a cute kids' book which I agreed to read if my daughter read "The Hobbit." She is reading "The Hobbit" and I'm reading the second in this good trilogy. Fun and easy if you need a break from serious "adult" books!!
Do You like book Smells Like Treasure (2011)?
A great follow up to the opening gambit of Smells Like Dog. Can't wait for the next installment.
