A dog called GRK


Tim, a boy from London, finds a dog on the way home from school. His owners are in prison, in a country called Stanislavia, and Grk wants to see them. Tim dreads what he has to do. He must fly to Stanislavia, trick his way in to piloting a helicopter, liberate Grk's owners, Max and Natascha Raffifi, from prison and escape (Tim finds) with the help of the British ambassador's secretary, Miranda. 

I like this book cause it shows the importance of friendship and the need for helping but also of courage and bravery. Joshua Doder has what kids want AND what they need all in ONE book!!


Join these nail-biting high-octane adventures with a dog called GRK!! Touching, crazy and smart, A DOG CALLED GRK is ideal for 8- to 11-year-olds! 10/10

Friska, My Friend by Patricia St John

FRISKA, MY FRIEND is about a boy, called Colin, and a dog, who Colin calls Friska. They live on a farm, near a village. In the beginning of Autumn, Friska suddenly goes missing! It's up to Colin, with the Vicar's help, to find Friska, wich leads to some hair-raising adventures!

What I really think is important is the following BIBLE verse: The Lord says "Don't be afraid, I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name; you are mine" (Isaiah 43:1). I also like Friska and Colin's friendship, which I also think's important.

I think children with dogs should read this great book. I think it's a great book for six-, seven- and eight-year-olds.
