Comment: Faith and the Electric Dogs is a story about a girl named Faith and her Dog ( Edison ). Faith is a girl about 8 yrs. old who lives in Mexico and thinks it is impossible to learn spanish. Edison is a street dog who knows about 5 different human languages. He understands humans but cannot speak their language. They save each other and that is how they become close friends. Faith wants to go back home San Francisco, California. So she saves enough money and gets a man ( Senor Latas ) to build her a rocket. She packs very few and takes Edison with her. Later, they get caught in a storm and land on Bone Island. They meet new friends there. Faith meets Beverly an old man. Edison meets other electric dogs. Days Later, Faith wants to go back home. So she fixes the rocket and takes off with Edison. When they get back home Faith realizes that spanish is not impossible to learn. I think you would like this story because it is about friendship and adventure. The best thing is that it teaches an important lesson. If you would like to know more about this book go to your local library.

Summary: This is a hilarious book!
Comment: Faith and the Electric Dogs is such a good book! Patrick Jennings, the book's author, let the reader see the story through the eyes of Edison, a Mexican street dog, or electric dog, who has been rescued by an American 11-year-old named Faith. Faith hates Mexico, mainly becuase a boy in her class is incredibly mean to her and teases her, and no one can understand her due to her not knowing Spanish. Therefore she decides to leave by rocket ship and go back to her home in San Francisco with Edison. The fuel leaks, though, and Eddy and Faith land on a bone-shaped island inhabited only by other electric dogs. I found the definitions in the margin very helpful, because they tell you the definitions of Spanish words and other languages, mostly Woof and Bow Wow. You don't even have to like dogs; anyone who loves a good laugh will love this easy-to-read book. This would make a great Christmas present!

Summary: Perfect book! I love it!
Comment: This book is a really great book! Your kid would love it. Very imaginative adults would love it too. But only imaginative adults. If you aren't imaginative, then this book isn't for you.
There is another book by the same author that has, I think, the same characters in it. It's called Faith and the Rocket Cat. I haven't read it yet, as you might have guessed, but it's supposed to be really good
If you like Faith and the Electric Dogs, you'll love Faith and the Rocket cat!
