Underwhelming



Dog Days by Karen English

The book has lot going for it except for the story arc.
The characters are lovable and well developed with nuances. Even Carlotta the dog whom Gavin has to take for walks is interesting to read about. Dialogues are realistic. But the missing ingredient is that the story does not even make it to contrived.
A great aunt is a guest for few days. A dog is lost. There are the dive off points but those havent been fully used to take the story to its potential. The length of the book might have something to do with it.
The non fussy illustrations are unique.
