I'm an eleven year old boy who loves to read. I drive my friends nuts recomending books to them, so I thought this was right up my alley.

Cracker! by: Cynthia Kadohata

My favorite part of Cracker! is the detail in which Cynthia describes a soldier's life. I personally enjoyed reading about one man's daily routine but I have a feeling that some people might find it boring. The plot line left something to be desired, considering I knew what would happen the whole way through, but I read it in one night so I can't really say I didn't like it.

Rick is a 17 year old dog handler in the Vietnam war and Cracker is his dog. At first Cracker is very difficult but as the story progresses, Rick and Cracker become best friends.

I recommend this book to people who liked Elephant Run.

Ages 10 and up.
