Walkin' the Dog by Chris Lynch is about a young boy, Louis, who runs a dog-walking business. Louis has been homeschooled for most of his life. However, in the fall, he will be attending a public high school with other students. He hopes that he can stay under the radar. His entire family knows that he would rather blend into the background than stand out.
Louis started walking his neighbor’s dog as a favor but then he ended up getting tons of new clients. His clients even include a rambunctious girl, Agatha, who is the same age as Louis. She likes telling a few lies mixed in with a few truths. He got tons of new furry companions to walk, which was exactly the opposite of what Louis wanted because it was too much to handle.
I didn’t like this book. I tried reading it, but it was boring and confusing. More specifically, the writing style and slang the author used were confusing. The author hinted that something might have happened to Louis’s mother, but it wasn’t very clear to me nor was I interested in finding out. I stopped reading the novel after a few pages. I figured life is too short to waste on books that have no appeal.
