THE PET WAR is a hilarious story about the timeless battles of dog vs. cat, brother vs. sister, know-it-all vs. know-nothing.
Eleven-year-old Otto wants a dog. His twelve-year-old perfect sister, Lexi, wants a cat. Their mother, who works very long hours as a nurse, wants neither. Pets are expensive so who's going to pay for everything? And what happens to the pet when the siblings are at their dad's for the weekend?
Otto has an idea. What if he got a job and earned enough money to pay for the dog? Then Lexi has to open her big mouth. She proposes that whichever sibling can raise enough money first will decide which pet they get. Oddly enough, their mom and dad agree.
With Otto and Lexi each out to defeat the other, their business plans become more elaborate and involved. As the competition gets fiercer, the stakes get higher, and the battle lines have been drawn, so let the Pet War begin. . . .
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Siblings Otto and Lexi want a pet, but that is as far as their agreement on anything goes. Otto wants a dog, and Lexi wants a cat. Their mother is not sure either of them—especially Otto—is ready for pet ownership, but after impassioned pleas from both, she agrees to let them compete to decide if it will be a dog or a cat as the family pet. Each has a month to raise $500; at the end of the month, whoever has collected the money gets to make the decision. If they get into trouble or let their grades slip, then they will be disqualified. Lexi, a straight-A student, sets up a tutoring business and then a sign-making business. Otto, after several disastrous attempts, starts a dog-walking business. He tries to be responsible, but his nature does not make it easy. Who will win? Although narrated by Otto, Woodrow’s humorous novel has both boy and girl reader appeal. Grades 4-6. --Suanne Roush --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
