Haru Zombie Dog Hero by Ellen Oh | Book Review

I received this book for free in exchange of an honest review. All opinions expressed here are my own. This post may contain affiliate links that we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Disclosure here.

Luke, his friends (Ben and Max), and his dog Haru were hanging out in the woods, completing the fort they made together. That is, until a feral raccoon attacked them. Haru saved the three friends making Haru a hero. Meanwhile, a factory owned by an old, rich coot called Mr. Sinclair. was illegally experimenting on dogs, which always results in death. Sinclair’s cousin, the landowner of Luke’s house/ store, decided to raise the rent for the store. Luke and his parents can’t pay off their new rent, so he gets mad and snaps. And unfortunately, so did the dog. Sinclair’s cousin got angry and sent the dog to the factory for falsely accusing Haru of biting her. Luke and his friends are trying to do all that they can in their power to rescue Haru.
Will their unique bond save Haru?

This book was unputdownable. The story is excellent and well-written too. The book switches from Luke’s, Haru the dog, and the cat’s perspectives.
Haru is a lovable character that cares about Luke. This book also displayed the loyalty of dogs. I enjoyed reading about the great relationship Luke and Haru have.
Luke’s friend Max, was my favorite human character because he was funny and thought a lot about food. Plus, when he texts, he types in all caps. There was also a cat in the story that was friends with Haru, whom I thought was a great character, not just because she was a cat, but because she was caring and knew well of the danger of the Sinclairs’ factory.
Sinclair is getting old and experimenting with dogs as an anti-aging product. The idea of this was quite original.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes dogs and a moving story.
