Summary

When Tim finds an abandoned little dog outside his house, he can't just leave him there, even though his parents hate the idea of pets in their house. It's not long before Tim finds himself breaking into a high-security prison, flying a helicopter, and making a nail-biting race for the border - all for the love of a very special dog.

A Dog Called Grk Summary

A Dog Called Grk by Josh Lacey

What would you do if you found a dog in the street? Would you return him to his owners? Even if they were a thousand miles away - and in prison? Tim finds a stray dog on the way home from school, but his parents refuse to let it into their house. He knows what he has to do. He catches a plane to Eastern Europe . . . Tim will have to break into a high-security prison, pilot a helicopter and make a nail-biting run for the border - all for a dog called Grk. Shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award.

A Dog Called Grk Reviews

Touching, crazy and smart . . . If your children are too young for Horowitz's teenaged spy series, this is a good alternative * The Times *
By turns lightly comic and cinematically adventurous, the plot zips along nicely with tongue firmly in cheek * Kirkus *
A high-octane plot, filled with action, suspense and humour, along with an element of dark political seriousness, combine to create a hugely entertaining read * Booktrust *
A really great story for all who long for adventure * Northern Echo *
The benefits of being a computer nerd are aptly demonstrated. Tim pilots a helicopter accompanied by GRK (brave, generous and foolish in Stanislavian) to rescue his owners, Max and Natascha, after a coup by evil Colonel Zinfandel * Financial Times *
