Strider

   I have read the novel, Strider,by Beverly Clearly. The book is about two boys who have joint custody of a dog they found. I chose this book because it sounded very good.


 In the book, two boys, Leigh and Berry, find a dog on the beach so they keep it. Though Leigh wanted to have the stray dog for himself. The boys promised joint custody so they both own him They then name him Strider.


  There are two things I liked about the book. One is I liked Strider and I thought he was cute. Second, I liked how the boys got to have joint custody. There are also two things I dislike.One is that I dislike how the book is written in diary form. One other thing I dislike is that the main character's parents are divorced. People who are 10-13 years may like this book. I would recommend it to a friend. A guy might like this book.
