A humorous and moving middle-grade, illustrated novel about a shelter that houses stray dogs—and robot dogs!—from powerhouse authors Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko.

Chance, a real dog, has been in Dogtown since her owners unwittingly left her with irresponsible dog-sitters who skipped town.
Metal Head is a robot dog who dreams of being back in a real home.
And Mouse is a mouse who has the run of Dogtown, pilfering kibble, and performing clever feats to protect the dogs he loves.
When Chance and Metal Head embark on an adventure to find their forever homes, there is danger, cheese sandwiches, a charging station, and some unexpected kindnesses along the way.
From beloved authors Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko, Dogtown is at once an uplifting story and a page-turning adventure, sure to find a forever home in readers’ hearts.
About Mouse and his Dog
Buster is not a bad dog! All he wants is a forever home. He's a little nervous, a little hyper, and gets distracted easily. Mouse and other inhabitants of the Dogtown shelter (real dogs and robot dogs) try to help Buster improve his behavior. But it's his human reading buddy who may hold the key to Buster going from bad dog to very, very good dog, in this upbeat story about friendship and finding home.
Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko's debut collaboration, Dogtown, was an instant New York Times and Indie bestseller. This companion story, again illustrated throughout by Wallace West, is a companion Dogtown story, and can be read alone. Full of heart and humor, Dogtown is a place young readers will want to visit again and again.
