This isn't a complex book and it will easily be devoured by pre-teens since it's quite short and the language isn't too difficult. As far as I know, there aren't that many children's books based in Moscow, so I did find the setting to be original, even if the plot wasn't. It's a cute read with some very cool elements in it. I especially liked how the dogs had such human personalities. (Is it wrong I hope that our pets are really like that?)
Overall, I think it's a perfect book for younger readers and Delaney shows some real promise. ( )
