ABOUT THE BOOK
The Rulebreakers’ Club is a gang of five without a dog. And, of course, gangs without dogs are just not cool. So they decide to remedy this situation by stealing a pug named Spike. But dog-owning is not as easy as it sounds. For Spike, who has a cat’s temper and a dinosaur’s appetite, leads them to uncover a terrorist operation.
Along the way, Spike is mistaken for a dead husband, poops incessantly, snores like an autorickshaw and simply will not stop eating!
Can the Rulebreakers survive this troublemaking dog and save the world while they’re at it?
SNAPSHOT REVIEW
- The writing is funny and lever, with laugh-out-loud chaos, and a fast-paced crackpot plot.
- Zany and madcap characters that still manage to stay true-to-life.
- The children’s attempts to procure a dog are hilarious.
- The new Penguin edition has a much better cover.
- Some obvious plot holes.
- Illustrations not attention-grabbing enough.
CONCLUSION
It is not the kind of story that will stay with the reader or make them think, but they will enjoy it for its humour and nutty plot.
