Dog Days by David Lubar

Some people call the hot days of summer the "dog days" but Larry, the main character in this book by David Lubar, gives the words a different meaning. Larry is a typical kid having some summer fun but when he sees a stray dog, he always tries to help. "Besides baseball, there wasn't anything in the world he liked as much as dogs. Sometimes he thought he might even like dogs a little more than baseball."

But Larry's got a problem, one even bigger than the pesky little brother he needs to keep track of. He needs money to take care of the three stray dogs he already took in, and now his little brother Paul has led him to another stray. How is he going to earn enough money to feed the dogs? And why is this new dog in the alley always growling when every other dog in the world seemed to love Larry? 

I like this book because Larry reminds me of a lot of 4th graders who work hard to solve  problems. It's a short book, great for any reader who likes dogs and a little mystery. 

Dog Days is level Q..
