Voyage of the Dogs was recommended to me by my daughter and she hit this one out of the park. Greg Van Eekhout has written a middle-grade classic that is witty, funny, exciting, entertaining, and most of all touching. The adventures of the Barkonauts is up there with The Martian, and Lost in Space in creating a world that surrounds you with its reality even as things get more and more dangerous for the pack of unlikely heroes. I can't recommend this story enough. Great work, Mr. van Eekhout!
