Book Review: Dogs of the Deadlands

Dogs of the Deadlands
By Anthony McGowan
Reviewed by Renata

In the wake of the Chernobyl disaster, a young girl is forced to abandon her beloved puppy, leaving it to face the elements – and far wilder creatures than itself – in the nuclear exclusion zone. Carnegie medal-winner McGowan brings a cataclysmic time in history to life as he tells the parallel stories of the humans and animals whose lives were changed by this environmental and social crisis. A survival story for fans of White Fang and Call of the Wild.
