Publisher Description

An Instant NEW YORK TIMES and Indie Bestseller!

Mouse lives in Dogtown, a shelter for real dogs and robot dogs, where the kibble is plentiful, and the rafters hide a secret community of mice. His unlikely best friend is Buster, a big-hearted real dog who attracts trouble like a burr to fur.

Determined to help Buster find his forever home, even if means losing his best pal, Mouse embarks on a bold quest with three of Dogtown’s “unadoptables”: Buster, Stewie--a huge, lovable dog whose ex-owner said he was mean, and Smokey--a robot dog hardwired with a smoke alarm he can’t control.

But Mouse is just a mouse, and the world is big and complicated. How’s a little guy supposed to find homes for the dogs he loves?

“Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review of Mouse and His Dog, by Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko. Katherine Applegate is a favorite in the household for the kiddos and myself and she doesn’t disappoint with Book 2 in the Dogtown books! We had just recently finished Book 1 so all of the characters were fresh and the story line continued quite well into this book (Book 2). I love that this book allows the reader (listener) to go through some turbulence before reaching the final resolution, as isn’t that just how life is! I would have given this audiobook a 5 star rating, but the audio has background noise (dogs barking, mouse squeaking, etc) which I found to be extremely distracting to the story. There are also very long pauses between the chapters (and there are over 100 chapters in the book) that create unnecessary length to the audiobook. I would say that the background noise is a bit improved from Book 1, but it is still “noise” that I found to take away from the book. Overall, I definitely recommend for kiddos in elementary - middle school!”
