Strider is one of the best chapter books I have ever read because it has drama (But not too much) parts that will make you laugh and others “Awww” about. This book is about 2 friends (Barry and Leigh) when they're at the beach near there house they find a dog. They coax the dog to go home with them and Leigh names the dog Strider. The two friends make joint custody over Strider (Joint custody: When two people share something.) Strider ends up being liking Leigh better when Barry goes to Los Angeles to visit his real mother and step father. Everyday Since Leigh and Barry found strider they would go running on the beach. I want to tell you more but if I did I would tell you about the whole book!

I would rate this book on a scale of 1 to 10 a 9.
