"The Hook"
"I think she wants you to do it for her,'Emily said.
Her mother shrugged. "Okay," she said, and wiped the washcloth lightly across the top of Josephine's head.
Josephine reacted with an expression of complete cat horror, and leaped back onto the dresser to safety.That was pretty funny, and normally, Emily would have laughed but she still felt strange.Confused.A little bit dizzy."(pages 6-7)
"This time, part of her knew that it really was only a dream, but she still felt as though she was drowning. The waves seemed bigger than ever,and there were rocks around too, because she kept chrashing into them which hurt. It seemed to take forever, but finally, she managed to wake herself up. She pulled her quilt closer, shivering and scared. Water seemed to be pouring all over the place, and at first she was very confused. Then she realized that it was raining outside."(page 18)
"Josephine jumped over to the windowsill and began to pace back and forth, with her tail whipping from side to side.
Okay there was definitly somthing out there.but her cat, Josephine, didn't seem nervous; she seemed uneasy. Anxious. Worried."(page 21)
"She walked down to the edge of the grass,above the rocks, and towards one of their neighbors houses.
She squined through the fog, but all that she could see was waves chrasing aginst the rocks. Lots of rocks. The Peabodys' dinghy, tied to thier dock, and bobbing up and down in the choppy water. A few lobster buoys. Other than that, she couldn't find anything unusual,or-wait!There was somthing out there!
Emily looked more colsly, and realized that there was a large, white shape on the rocks was it an old sail, maybe? Or a piece of plastic, or some Styrofoam? But the shape seemed to big for that. What it looked like was an animal of some kind. In fact, it looked like a polar bear."(pages 24,25,and 26)
"No matter what her parents did, or said Emily couldn't stop crying.
It had been days. How could his owners show up, out of nowhere, after days? It wasn't fair. It wasn't right. It had to be a mistake.
'The people say their dog fell over their fishing boat'her mother told her gently.'And that they tried to save him, but they thought he had drowned.'
Emily dragged her sleeve acroos her eyes. 'Why didn't they look for him? Didn't they care?"(page 192)
They were supposed to go over to Oceanside Animal Hospital at ten thirty to meet Zack's real owner, who was apparently a man named Mr. McGuire. With every minute that passed, Emily got more and more upset. If it had been her dog-and he was her dog!-she would have gotten her parents to drive her over the night before, as soon as she heard that someone had found him. She would never have wanted to wait until the next day to see him.
It wasen't fair.
And if Zack had come to her for a reason, why was he going to be taken away like this? That wasen't fair, either.
Crying so much was upsetting him, though, and she tried to be brave, for his sake. Maybe he loved her and his old owners, and she shouldn't do anything to make him feel unhappy. She should just pat him and hug him and feed him like this was a normal day, so he wouldn't feel as terrible as she did.(pages 202 and 203)
Emily stood there, not sure what was going on-or what to say or do.Dr. Kasanofsky's shirt was ripped, and it looked like his glasses might be broken, too.'Go back outside, Emily!' He said sharply.(page 207)
"Reccomendation"
Have you ever found something and then had to give it back? And don't know how painful it will be? I know I have. Well, in this story Emily sees something on the Peabody's rocks in their backyard. At first, she dosen't know what to think of this creature.So Emily decides to take a closer look for herself.Emily can see while shes in the waiting room at the hospital and looking at what happened to Mr.Kasanofsky she easily knows that the story the men are telling them is not the true , and in fact its not anything near the truth. I can relate to this because I have a dog, too. I think anyone who loves animals would love reading this book because it kept me on the edge of my seat! I loved reading and I hope you do too. If you want to find out what happens to Emily and Zack and find out who Zack is, you'll have to read this amazing book!
