Editorial Reviews

The golden-haired mutt named Lucky possesses unique survival skills, but in this episode of Erin Hunter's resilient Survival series, they are tested in extreme ways. The Leashed Dogs and the Wild Pack have joined forces, but when the Alpha discovers that Lucky had been a spy, he casts him out to fend for himself in the shadowy forest and dangerous ruined city. A turning-point episode in a hit young readers series. Now in trade paperback and NOOK Book.
