The dog who wanted more – Sowmya Rajendran

Three boys :

Jagannathan :  He always had failures in the past. He says he is a brawn, not a brain.

Rishi : He  is a nerd who saves up question papers for ‘future reference’. He cannot work without planning on an Excel sheet.

Tejas : His dream is to be on camera someday .

Two girls :

Monica : She is an Angry Young Woman who flares up for many things.

Keerti : She wants to become a wrestler. So she has three boiled eggs everyday.

All of them are thirteen years old.

The dog:

Spike : He is a little pug.

None of the children’s parents  allow them to keep dogs. So they decide to make a club called Rulebreakers’ Club in which they will break all the rules set by their parents. As a first step, they decide to kidnap a dog. But owning a dog is not easy. Later they get caught with problems and so they decide to return the dog. And the story goes.

  1. There are idilys and vadais instead of bread and cheese.
  2. It is a different kind of adventure. They do not discover treasures and gold. They kidnap and maintain a dog.
  3. I liked the club’s name -Rulebreakers’ Club.
  4. I liked the ilustrations of the book by Arun Kumar Kaushik.

  1. It is not as exciting as Enid Blyton adventure series for me.

! ! !

  1. All the five adventurous children are kidnapped from their school.
  2. Rishi’s almost-deaf grandmother thinks that the dog is her dead husband.
  3. The amount of food that the dog eats – Seven packets of biscuits.

I liked this book . I suggest this fictional adventure book to all my friends.

    Welcome sahana, clear and crisp review. Your writing style feels natural, straight from the heart. Enjoyed reading
    .

    //2.Rishi’s almost-deaf grandmother thinks that the dog is her dead husband.//

    in our society we see our diseased grand parents or great grand parents in the form of crows, isn’t it? In the book’s case author might have thought it as an irony, or may be reflecting the sentiments of the society in a funny way.

    keep writing,

    Neat review Sahana.

    There are idilys and vadais instead of bread and cheese.

    You’ve noticed the essence of the Indian setting that the author probably wanted to create.

    I liked the club’s name -Rulebreakers’ Club..

    LOL – which kid wouldn’t want to break rules.

    Rishi’s almost-deaf grandmother thinks that the dog is her dead husband.

    😀 Thathas and Paattis these days are actually quite smart.
