A spooky spin-off of the best-selling Animal Ark series, this new Hauntings title will have animal-lovers shivering in fear and delight.

Mandy and her best friend James are used to dealing with animals in distress. But ghostly animals in distress are a different matter...

Skelton Castle has always had a faithful deerhound to protect its family and grounds. But Aminta, the last of the line, died a short while ago. So when Mandy and James explore the creepy castle, the last thing they expect to find is a deerhound - especially one that looks just like Aminta. Could it possibly be her? What could she want from Mandy and James?

By A Customer

This review is from: Dog in the Dungeon (Animal Ark Hauntings #3) (Paperback)

This book has all the normal Animal Ark characters, animals in distress etc., but there is also a superb castle/dungeon type plot that all kids will love.
The characters in this book are well done.
My kids couldn't put it down.

I was forced to read this book for a children's literature class. Boy was I glad I had to read it!

First, it is not as cheesy as the cover makes it look. It is very fun, and kids will love it. The characters are smart, and they inspire kids to be smart, too.

I also liked how the book showed positive morals and that people need to love each other and promote positivity instead of negative attitudes.

What a GREAT book!
