Great Book!!!!!

Mcgrowl: It's a Dog's Life is a great book! I have just finished reading it because I had an assinment in which i had to choose a book. This book is recommended for the ages of 9-12, but I think any age would enjoy this book! It's about a boy named Thomas, and his dog Mcgrowl. The town is about to vote for a mayor, and one of the canadates is very strange. He tunes out not to be such a good guy after all and he wants Mcgrowl to help him with something...........but i'm not going to spoil the ending to you so your going to have to read this book to find out! It is fiction/mystery and will leave you up at night not wanting to put it down! I really would rather do many things than read, but after reading this book it has changed. I am hoping to read the first one since I only had the seacond 1 and am curious about how the series starts. You have to be crazy if you don't like it.......but that is just my opinion! Hope this review was helpful!!!

The Mcgrowl Dog Review

The book I'm reading is interesting so far because I like dogs that are like Mcgrowl.This book has crime solving case that a boy named Thomas has some problems but some of these cases are funny when he does things wrong.My favorite part is the dog show because Mcgrowl doesn't race but chases a cat. I will enjoy reading the rest of the book.

AWESOME!!!

I am 11 years old i loved this book!!! I am doing it for a project and i just cant put it down! The book befor it i didnt read and i still love this one! I cant wait until the next one in the sieries! ~alli~

Mcgrowl get;s the governor

I would give this book 4 stars. I really liked the book, but at first it was a little hard for me to understand. This book was about a boy named Thomas and his bionic dog, Mcgrowl. Thomas and Mcgrowl were spying on the governer, Mell Munchnick. He was always acting strange. Thomas and Mcgrowl found out that Me?s real name was Millie Smudge. He changed his name to Mell because when he was young, he was very bad. If everyone knew he was Millie Smudge, no one would vote for him. I have read all 4 Mcgrowl books and I liked them all. You would really like the Mcgrowl series if you like exciting adventure.

Great fun!

I finished reading this book with my 9 year old son last night, and today I found my son re-reading parts of the book out loud to a friend -- now that's a first. What a fun and funny book! We like this McGrowl book even more than the previous one and we can't wait for the next book in this series. Enjoy!
