Castle In The Mist

The 2nd book in the Planet Of the Dogs series

Stories of how dogs teach people about loyalty and love, and bring peace to good people everywhere.

“Castle In The Mist is a great book. If you’re into danger, dogs and drama you’ll love it!”

Nash Guyre, age 8 - Marblehead, ME

After a year of peace Bik, the warrior-chief of  Stone City, is preparing for war. His children have been kidnapped by Prince Ukko, the leader of the Black Hawk tribes, and held prisoner in the Castle In The Mist. This is the story of how the dogs came down from their planet, to the land of the Forest People, to free the children and prevent war.

The Black Hawk soldiers had never seen dogs before. They had no knowledge of their courage, cleverness and endurance. And they had no idea that the dogs, through their extraordinary sense of smell, could see in the darkness and foggy mist that enveloped the Castle and the great forest.

When the winter snow falls, and the land is covered in white, it is the working dogs who challenge King Ukko and his warriors — and bring peace to the land of the Forest people.

“Danger, suspense and the unconditional love of dogs is what you’ll find from start to finish in this sequel, along with the beautiful drawings by Mr. McCarty’s wife, Stella.  I am on the edge of my seat waiting for Snow Valley Heroes!”

Lisa Di Georgio, dog lover and owner of Muddies Munchies

Castle In The Mist is a good book like the first one, Planet Of The Dogs. I can’t wait for the next book to appear.  The plot is good and so is the problem – how two former enemies unite is one of the things that I liked.  On of a scale of 1 to 10 I will give it a 10.
