(4) 4-6 An illness that causes dogs to turn vicious is becoming an epidemic. As the canine population dwindles and the disease begins spreading to humans, fourteen-year-old Logan tries to protect his own pet, Jack, from those who want to quarantine or kill all dogs. Though the narrative is choppy and the conclusion hinges on a rather unlikely coincidence, the novel effectively builds suspense.
