The Pet is probably the best in the kids series. I'm not sure they call it a kids series, but it sure seems like one. Anyway, back to the book. The Pet is where Jake and Nog make friends with a pet that they call Babe. It's been a while since I've read this book, but the end is where an alien ship (as good, and slightly better than the Borg) comes to the space station and does a tiny attack, and the masked commander claims that a "prince" is aboard DS9. I knew who that prince was right away. However, the crew and Jake and Nog don't. Even though Sisko sounds innocent and dosen't know where the prince is, they still attack. I can't remember when or how, but later Jake and Nog find out who the prince is, and go to Ops (I like to say the bridge) with Dr. Bashir, and Babe does something incredible... I'm not telling you any more, except that unless it was a very good story I wouldn't be writing this much. So if you see this book, get it no matter what. Enjoy it.

Odd, but delightful. Similar to the madcap antics of the DS9 book (not the episode!) The Siege, it's a romp that includes all the characters we're used to while focusing on Jake in an interesting way. Before the War broke out several seasons later, this is a light, breezy read to wile away an afternoon.
