While a pretty good book, I didn't find this one particularly memorable. The plot is good, and the reasons for Amber running away are made painfully clear when they finally find her and the puppy. There is a sub-plot with a very sick exotic bird and for a long time they can't figure out why he is sick. Overall it's a good book, but for some reason it just didn't grab at me like most AA books do.

This is a GOOD book about a girl who runs away with a Beagle puppy and Mandy Hope is trying to find them.

Ben M. Baglio was born in New York in 1960, and grew up in a small town in New Jersey. Baglio studied English Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. After graduation, he worked as a children's book editor in New York City. Five years later, a job at publishing house in England became available and he moved there to accept the position. Some show more time after that, Baglio decided to try his own hand at writing and created the characters of Mandy Hope and James Hunter. Their adventures became known as the Animal Ark series. The books originally were published in England, under the pseudonym Lucy Daniels, and have since gone on to be published in the USA and translated into 15 languages. There is also a live-action television series based on the books in England. Some of Ben Baglio's titles are The Brave Bunny, Sheepdog In The Snow, and Spaniel in a Stocking. Baglio has also contributed one title, The First Olympics, to the Choose Your Own Adventure gamebook series. Baglio also wrote the Horseshoe Trilogies. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)There had been tension, tears, and danger in big doses, but in the end everything had turned out a treat.
