In the midsts of a lockdown triggered by a global pamndemic, Clay doesn't have much to look forward to this summer except long solitary walks in the woods. But when he discovers a stray magical dog, his world changes. Quite literally. The dog takes him to other worlds -- a land with a huge wishing lake, a village of people with owl heads, and group of sleeping giants. But the dog belongs to the Kingdom Under the Mountain and her owners want her back!
A rollicking adventure of strange creatures, battles, and subterfuge. Filled out with delightful illustrations, this fast-paced story is an easy read. I found it terribly violent and a bit thin on character, but it won plenty of awards (including a Newbery Honor last year).
