I just finished reading The Empty City by, no surprise here, ERIN HUNTER!!!!
Seriously, go read their books, one of my favorite authors, right up there with J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, Maggie Stiefvater and Chris Paolini. If you don't know who they are, you've definitely been living under a rock or something. Go read their books too! Anyways, you might have seen in my Shopping Cart blog post that I got the third book in this series, Darkness Falls, so I am re-reading to catch up and remember some facts. The Survivors series is about a group of dogs that are trying survive after a 'Big Growl' or earthquake. Lucky plans on going it alone, but then he is saved from some foxes by his litter-sister Bella and some of her 'packmates' Leashed Dogs, also known as you know, pets. Their 'longpaws' (humans) have left them in the aftermath of the huge earthquake that has left huge cracks in the earth and no place for the Leashed Dogs to go. Lucky and Bella lead Sunshine, Daisy, Martha, Bruno, Mickey and Alfie out of the city to survive in the wild. They find home, but have to leave because they tried to take some food from another group of dogs.
This book combines a little bit of doggy spirituality with the harsh dangers of survival in the wild and is a must-read for any dog lover.
