A twisting story full of surprises, an unlikely hero who finds that people are not always what they seem, and lots of dogs, Queen of Dogs is a great read for those in middle primary and above. * Lamont * This book was a fun romp and adventure, with light and dark in places but necessary, and dealt with in an age-appropriate way for middle grade readers who like a mystery but also don’t want anything too dark. Another great book from Walker Books. * Ashleigh Meikle * Friendship and relationships form a large part of this entertaining debut novel with Maddy struggling to be part of the group at school and being constantly embarrassed about being called 'dog girl'. But her steely persistence and dogged determination are a highlight as she tries so very hard to solve the mystery of the dog-nappings and re-unite owners with their missing dogs. * ReadPlus *
