Waking up late one day, Pongo finds that none of the humans will wake up. He finds out that the same has happened all over the country, and then dogs everywhere hear the voice of Lord Sirius the dogstar, offering to free them from their humans.

102 Dalmatians was a rubbish sequel. But this book is great. Weird concepts but definitely worth a read for all ages!

A great Sequel

Not quite sure what to say about this book - I loved 101 Dalmatians so decided to listen to this one too. Won’t spoil it buy giving too much away but expect the unexpected! Did enjoy it, just a little puzzled as it’s very different to the first book. Brilliant performance by Delia Corrie.

Unusual sequel!

As many reviewers have said, this sequel is a significant contrast to the first novel. It has a much darker theme and plot, and it is definitely less of a a children’s work than the first book.

Without giving too much away, it deals with a mysterious vision seen only by the worlds dog population, a vision which requires Pongo To make a difficult decision concerning the relationship between a dog kind and humanity.

Unexpected sequel
