THE LEGEND OF DIAMOND LIL
Doreen Cronin
Scholastic
2012
Available:
paperback, hardcover, Kindle
J.J. is on the job. He's a
retired search-and-rescue dog who's moonlighting as a guard dog for Moosh and
her chicks while they sleep in the chicken coop. It seems like J.J. has
everything under control until a new problem pops up. A new dog has moved in
next door and something doesn't seem quite right about Diamond Lil. She's a
little too good to be
true. And in his opinion, the chicks are spending too
much time with her. Plus there's a possum on the loose that keeps trying to
sneak into the coop.
This was a fun book. It is full of
mystery, adventure, humor and talking animals. It should appeal to a wide
variety of young readers. What's really nice, is that when J.J. solves the
mystery in the end, there is even a great surprise wrapped into it that should
catch the reader by surprise.
Target audience: Grades 4-5
Mystery / Suspense: Good
Kid appeal:
Fun read
