Customer Reviews

Perfect book! I love it!

This book is a really great book! Your kid would love it. Very imaginative adults would love it too. But only imaginative adults. If you aren't imaginative, then this book isn't for you. There is another book by the same author that has, I think, the same characters in it. It's called Faith and the Rocket Cat. I haven't read it yet, as you might have guessed, but it's supposed to be really goodIf you like Faith and the Electric Dogs, you'll love Faith and the Rocket cat!

Good Book

I choose this book and thought that I would just read one chapter but it is cool how they used spanish dialog. I read the book and now i am reading "Faith and the Rocket Cat."

The Bone shaped Island

The book I just finished was Faith And The Electric Dogs. It might be hard to understand because it contains a little Spanish.There is a translation on the sides and a glossary in the back of the book. It even translates into dog language! This book is about a girl named Faith. She is an American girl who lives in Mexico. She hates Mexico and wants to go home. One day, she finds a stray dog that saves her from a big bully. She keeps him and names him Eddie. One day, she decides to buy a rocket. The rocket looks like a peacock. She takes off and lands on an island that is unamed. It is in the shape of a bone. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a big imagination and wants adventure.

Faith and the Electric Dogs is a story about a girl named Faith and her Dog ( Edison ). Faith is a girl about 8 yrs. old who lives in Mexico and thinks it is impossible to learn spanish. Edison is a street dog who knows about 5 different human languages. He understands humans but cannot speak their language. They save each other and that is how they become close friends. Faith wants to go back home San Francisco, California. So she saves enough money and gets a man ( Senor Latas ) to build her a rocket. She packs very few and takes Edison with her. Later, they get caught in a storm and land on Bone Island. They meet new friends there. Faith meets Beverly an old man. Edison meets other electric dogs. Days Later, Faith wants to go back home. So she fixes the rocket and takes off with Edison. When they get back home Faith realizes that spanish is not impossible to learn. I think you would like this story because it is about friendship and adventure. The best thing is that it teaches an important lesson. If you would like to know more about this book go to your local library.
