This middle grade novel by up-and-coming Ehrenhaft is the perfect read for angst-filled preteens, with an alienated hero, parents who don't understand, a race against time, and an unlikely savior in mangy Jack. Strong writing and issues such as stepfamilies and teen rebellion make this a good classroom discussion novel for both sexes; it has high mass appeal as well.

WHAT IF MAN’S BEST FRIEND TURNED INTO MAN’S WORST ENEMY?
 
It’s Stephen King meets Shiloh in this thrilling action-adventure survival story perfect for fans of Gary Paulsen’s Hatchet, #1 New York Times bestselling author D.J. MacHale’s the Sylo Chronicles, and anyone who appreciates the loyal bond between a boy and his dog.
 
Logan Moore hates everyone. Everyone except Jack. A mangy mutt that nobody wants. Except Logan.
 
But Jack is in terrible danger. A mysterious disease is sweeping across the country, turning dogs into vicious, raging predators. Jack isn’t infected, but that won’t keep her safe. People are shooting dogs on sight, and asking questions later. Logan’s own parents want to hand Jack over to the authorities.
 
Now Logan and Jack are on the run. There’s nowhere they can turn and no one they can trust. Except each other.
