Tango: The Tale of an Island Dog

While looking for books for my Kindle, I found this one. It's not the type of book I'm used to read, but this one caught my attention. There was something in the cover that reaaally caught my attention, so I decided to give it a try!

Tango: The Tale of an Island Dog is a book about a Yorkshire Terrier owned by a very rich family that lives in Manhattan. One day, this family goes sailing. A storm crashed the boat and made Tango fall to the sea, and then, the storm drove Tango to Prince Edward Island. In the island, he gets picked up by a woman named Augusta. He meets animals like an old friendly fox named Beau, who is the guardian of a girl called McKenna. He also meets an evil cat gang, leadered by a bad cat named Axel.

In this book, we get to know Tango's adventures and attempts to get back home to Manhattan, and how the people in the island care and love Tango after spending enough time with him.


This book was beautiful! As I said, I'm not used to read this kind of books, but I have to say I really loved this one. I think some of the cat gang parts were funny. Also, I got really sad because Tango really wanted to return home, but Miss Augusta and McKenna loved him. Finally he realized that in the island, there were lots of people that loved him, like Beau and the other animals. These kind of stories really touch me, and yes, this is a beautiful book.

The ending cheered me up, because at the end, Nigel (a member of the cat gang), Tango, McKenna, and Augusta sticked together and made a family. It is a great book, indeed. Loved it. My least favorite parts of the book were all those parts involving Diego and Marcellina (the owners of Tango). Yes, I know they're a fundamental part of the story but I didn't really like all that "Life in Manhattan" bits. But  I have to say I really loved the book! :D

Eileen Beha did an amazing job with this book, in fact, I think she should make more books! I would love a Tango sequel but some original stories would also be cool. I loved the book. You can check it out at GoodReads, http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7439498-tango

Thanks for reading everyone, and have a nice day! Totally a book I would recommend. :)
