### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars for Hero!
*by L***S on November 22, 2016*

The story is about a a 12 year old boy in possession of a retired rescue dog named Hero who finds a small puppy scared and alone. While Ben is struggling to keep up with schoolwork, take care of his dogs and work on baseball, he is also dealing with a rude new kid at school who plays the same position as him in baseball. When he loses the puppy he has to turn to Hero's tracking skills to find him. This book has lots of intense action and moves quickly. My 11 year old recommends this book for 5th-6th grade. The words are simple to read but the plot is intricate. If you're looking for an action-packed dog themed book, this is the one.
