Linda Urban is also the author of A Crooked Kind of Perfect. A Crooked Kind of Perfect has been a book that get consistently checked out from the LRMS library. It is also written to the 3-6 grade audience. I have not read A Crooked Kind of Perfect but have been told that it is pretty good.
I chose to read Hound Dog True because it sounded like it would be an interesting story. Also if I spent another $4.00 on my Scholastic Book order, I got some free bookmarks. I thought the LRMS students would like the bookmarks so I bought another book. They are Minecraft bookmarks.
The main character, Mattie is starting the 5th grade in two weeks. I think it said that this will be her fifth school. I was lucky enough to go to the same elementary school and same high school for all my education. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to always be the new kid.
This book is only 147 pages long. It should be a quick read. It is what I like to call a 'beach book'.
