The Dogs

Image result for the dogs stratton 

Cameron and his mom have been on the run fromhis father for years.  Cameron remembers bits and pieces of abuse but always wonders if his mom is just a little paranoid. Their latest move lands them on a old farmhouse with a secret of its own.Turns out the former owner was killed by his dogs.  But is there more to the story - what happened to his wife, their son Jacky, and a neighbor. Cameron starts seeing Jacky and gets glimpses of what really happened. All the while he struggles with his mom's new relationship and curiosity about his dad.

I really enjoyed this book.  There was good back and forth between an old mystery and the current situation with Cameron's dad.  I can definitely see this in a middle schoolor high school.  It is a bit too edgy- language, smoking, sex- for mykiddosbut agoodbook.
