When The Boy Who Spoke Dog was published, Publishers Weekly wrote: "The pacing is swift, and the surprising and touching finale begs for a sequel." In this continuation of the first book, Clay Morgan has reunited Jack and his beloved dog, Moxie, on the island where they first met. Jack is not the only human on the island: The mysterious and dangerous Blackburn Jukes is there, too, searching for the valuable amber hidden in the bogs of the island. Moxie and Jack soon realize that they must work together in order to protect themselves and their island from this intruder in this action-filled novel.

      Writing in the alternating viewpoints of Border collie Moxie and former cabin boy Jack, Morgan presents the second in the Boy Who series (following The Boy Who Spoke Dog, 2003). Life on Dog Island has become harsh since Jack was taken away in the previous book, and Moxie and the other dogs are starving. Meanwhile, Jack has problems of his own. Will the boy and his dog ever be reunited? Morgan's evocation of Moxie's inner life is thorough and engaging, but Jack's character and the setting are hard to pin down; readers will need to be familiar with the first book to fully grasp this one.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
