Our Review

This tenth installment in the globally beloved graphic novel series finds our canine-headed hero, Dog Man, at a low point, while his feline frenemy Petey is forced to confront his troubled past. With new villains causing chaos and Grampa stirring up trouble, the world descends into a seemingly hopeless situation. This graphic novel for young readers masterfully blends fast-paced, full-color comic action with a surprisingly deep emotional core, exploring themes of redemption and confronting one's history in a way that is both accessible and impactful for its audience.

Pilkey’s signature style, complete with flip-o-ramas and his trademark humor, ensures that the pages fly by, making it an excellent choice for reluctant readers or any child who devours visual storytelling. The book’s greatest strength lies in its heartfelt exploration of complex feelings like despair and the transformative power of love and friendship, offering a meaningful anchor amidst the slapstick. Fans of the series will be thoroughly satisfied by this latest adventure, which proves that even in its tenth outing, the series continues to deliver laughs, excitement, and a powerful, positive message.
