Lucy

♥♥♥♥♥ Lucy is a harrowing and heartwarming adventure novel by Chris Coppel. It’s hard to express how much I enjoyed this delightful story! Lucy won my heart, and I loved exploring her country home through her eyes. ♥♥♥♥♥ In the same vein as The Art of Racing in the Rain or A Dog’s Purpose, this book gives a delightful, playful, endearing voice to a pack of misfit dogs on an adventure to find a safe place to call home. It’s an indelibly fun read that people of all ages will enjoy. A bold escape with her fellow canine inmates–a weepy but learned Spaniel, two stalwart Dobermans, a vain Afghan, and an ingenious Yorkshire Terrier, takes the friends through the unimagined perils of London. Lucy, a pampered young Golden Retriever, is stolen by ruthless smugglers from her home in rural England and taken to a grim London kennel. Whether it is something as simple as crossing busy streets or having to unearth long-dormant bravery to escape from a vicious gang of rats in the pitch-black London Underground, the often terrified friends must at all costs avoid recapture and certain return to their grim prison. Only by working as a cohesive team, can the dogs stay safe and find their way home.
