Who doesn’t love a good road trip? In Even The Dog Knows, an ensemble of dynamic characters embark on a journey down the East Coast. In what appears to be a quick trip to deliver beloved dog Moses to Florida turns into much, much more than anyone bargained for. New York Times best-selling author Jason F. Wright pens this delightful tale, cramming each page full of adventure, drama and fantastic nineties references. The plot is fast-paced and filled with surprises. Chapters are short, often end in cliff-hangers, and frequently switch narrators. Wright brings his characters to life with vivid physical descriptions, heartfelt musings and laugh-out-loud quips. With the story set in 1992, readers will enjoy the running joke about the ‘uselessness’ and ‘annoyance’ of newfangled cell phones. Even the Dog Knows champions relationships, love, and second chances. This profound tale should be added to everyone’s summer reading lists.
