Accused of a crime he had nothing to do with, Dog Man has to clear his name while working out where he actually belongs. The sixth book gives the series its most personal question so far.
Dav Pilkey keeps the pace quick with colour panels, sight gags and dialogue pitched exactly at his audience, but the storyline about identity and acceptance gives the humour something to push against. Loyalty, courage and self-acceptance come through the plot rather than being stated outright, which is why the book tends to stay with readers. Those who came for the jokes generally stay for the characters.
Elements to look out for:
• A wrongful accusation that Dog Man has to disprove
• A storyline about belonging and self-acceptance under the comedy
• Illustrated panels in colour from first page to last
• The sixth instalment in the bestselling series
For young readers aged roughly eight to twelve and for fans of illustrated comic adventures. Available in English at Boipoka.
