After her initial adventure in Otter Space, Kipper just wants to go home... Unfortunately, she might have to save the galaxy first.Jupiter, Deadly is the second book in the Otters in Space universe. It follows the continuing journey of an ordinary tabby cat with the extraordinary ability to find trouble. Kipper and her otter friends are dragged into a mysterious battle centered around Jupiter while, back on Earth, her family and her best dog pal Trudith are embroiled in a political campaign that could mean everything for the cats of Earth.From page one, Kipper and Trudith have their work cut out for them. Kipper rushes to rescue a secret space cat colony from maybe the coolest alien invaders ever, and Trudith gets to deal with Kipper's siblings, their drama, and the confusing and convoluted world of politics, romance, and family dynamics.Otters in Space II brought all the things I loved about the first book and made them even shinier. I found Kipper a great deal more likable as her arc continued to blossom, and the action/adventure element was dialed up to eleven in this one. The writing is sharp and simple enough for any audience, and the story is delightful from start to finish.It is a multi-POV book, and in places the heads hop more than I'm used to, but the switches were done smoothly enough that after an initial pause, they didn't distract me or detract from the reading experience. I found Jupiter, Deadly to be fun, playful, exciting, heartwarming, and very satisfying. My tiny quibble with the ending was that a few things that got summed up rather than experienced on the page, but Otters in Space II definitely left me wanting more. As soon as possible.I'd recommend it for anyone who likes a good space romp, scifi, space opera, otters, and/or just a heartwarming and fun family-friendly read.

When a naïve puppy’s favorite human goes missing, he decides to leave the safety of his family pen to track him down and bring him home. However, this seemingly simple decision sets in motion a whirlwind-paced plot full of intrigue, colorful worlds, and a delightful cast of characters. Shaune Lafferty Webb’s Once a Dog begins with its focus on Jessie B. Collie. He’s young and completely unfamiliar with the world around him. Terms that humans have ready names for are described in a very simple way (a personal favorite example is the lack of the word "cat," instead opting for the much more appropriate "scratch-and-spit"). His world is small and simple, and he is content. Much like the classic narrative from The Wizard of Oz, this sepia-toned farmscape soon gets blown away, leaving Jessie to try and find his way through a fantastical world full of new friends, new rules, and the realization that not everyone is as friendly as they seem to be. Overall, Once a Dog is well written. The settings are wonderfully imagined and fully realized, and that really helps bring this narrative to life. Additionally, the cover art by Lew Viergacht is absolutely wonderful. One minor gripe I had while reading this book was with the pacing. While the characters that Jessie B. Collie meets along his journey definitely have their own quirks, and are each memorable, the speed at which the narrative is moving left me craving a bit more development. What this pace does allow for, though, is to let the reader watch Jessie grow and mature as a character. The importance of life, and the gaining of experiences, is a running theme that, as an older reader, I can definitely appreciate. No matter what your age is (and even if you’re more of a cat person), you can find something to enjoy about Once a Dog. It’s a fun, occasionally poignant adventure that called back to a few of the classic Don Bluth animations I enjoyed as a kid. It’s definitely worth a read!

A perfect seasonal item, now on the bookshelves: It’s The Christmasaurus, a new novel for young readers written by singer/songwriter and YouTube celebrity Tom Fletcher. “Once upon a time–long, long ago, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth–an egg rolled away from its mother and landed in the ocean, where it froze solid and stayed peacefully for thousands of years. Then one day Santa and his elves discover the frozen egg, and Santa sits on it to see if it will hatch. But he can’t guess what’s inside. . .  a dinosaur! Meanwhile, a young boy named William Trundle has only ever wished for one thing for Christmas: A dinosaur! So when Santa accidentally gives William the real Christmasaurus instead of a stuffed replica, it’s the Best Christmas Ever! Until an evil man known as the Hunter decides a dinosaur will be the perfect addition to his collection…” With illustrations by Shane Devries, The Christmasaurus is available now in hardcover from Penguin Books/Random House.
