I received a free copy of this book from Story Cartel, in exchange for an honest review."Dog Aliens 2: Oreo" by Cherise Kelley continues the saga of Raffle, the star of "Dog Aliens 1: Raffle's Name". In this episode Raffle is saddled with the responsibility of watching over his new "puppy" friend, Oreo. Raffle's humans were told Oreo is only a puppy, but Raffle knows Oreo is really three years old... while Raffle himself is only a bit over a year old!Raffle is an obedient, loving dog, fully bonded with his humans. Oreo, on the other hand, is a real rascal, who delights in tormenting Raffle, disobeying their humans, and trying to run away. Worse yet, Oreo has no idea he is really an alien from the planet Kax. Raffle's assignment from Kax is to teach Oreo about his origin and help him to recall his Kaxian memories.Meanwhile, the Niques next door, otherwise known as "small dogs", but really from the planet Nique, convince Oreo that Raffle is insane with all his talk about being an alien."Dog Aliens 2: Oreo" is another cute story about the adventures of Raffle and his new companion, Oreo. The story is well written, and the plot is sure to amuse young and old alike. As should be obvious to all, this is a story that does not pretend to be "intellectual", but rather is intended for fun reading. Cherise Kelley has convincingly developed a story that is very entertaining, and will be enjoyed by many.The version I originally reviewed had some very minor formatting issues, which the author subsequently has repaired, so you now can purchase this book without concern for any format issues that may be mentioned in other reviews. I recommend this for pre-teens and young teens, but adults with a sense of humor will enjoy reading it as well.
