This second book in the Last Dogs series picks up where the first left off. Max, Rocky, and Gizmo are floating down the river, following Madame's directions to go to the ocean to find the people. After several days they come upon a riverboat casino stuck in sandbar. They find another pack of dogs, but fortunately this one is friendly. After seeing the symbol of the three linked circles, Max, Rocky, and Gizmo set off to investigate. There are finally some answers in this book as to what happened and why the people all disappeared. I am looking forward to more answers in the next book. Recommended for grades 4-7.

Although this installment has a bit more action than the first book, it didn't hold my interest as much as the first one did (which I gave 3* to). Questions remained unanswered and Rocky going "hiya!" got even more annoying (it's not as funny and/or endearing as the author thinks; it's just cheesy).
